Man Utd slash ticket prices for Manchester derby after fans refused to pay top dollar to watch Ruben Amorim’s flops

Published on March 30, 2025 at 08:28 PM

MANCHESTER UNITED have slashed ticket prices for next Sunday’s derby against City at Old Trafford after fans refused to pay top dollar to watch Ruben Amorim’s struggling side.

United were strongly criticised by fans’ groups earlier in the season for increasing prices for club members to attend games at Old Trafford to a minimum of £66 – and removing all concessions for kids and OAPs.

Tickets for the City game did not sell out at those prices so United reverted to the cheaper rate.

United – 13th in the Prem – put tickets back on sale last week, with members able to buy seats at the reduced rate of £40 – and £25 for concessions.

The Manchester derby is now expected to sell out.

Future home Prem matches are also available to members on the club’s website for less than the minimum £66 price.

United fans remain deeply unhappy with the club for increasing tickets prices since Sir Jim Ratcliffe took charge of the football operation at Old Trafford last year.

As well as increasing the price of match-day tickets for fans during the season the cost of season tickets for next year has also gone up.

And to make matters worse long-standing season-ticket holders have been kicked out of their prime spots on the halfway line so the club can charge more for hospitality tickets.

Supporters have been urged to stage a “sit-in”; by staying in their seats following the final whistle against Pep Guardiola's side.

Steve Crompton, a spokesman for The 1958, said: “I think probably one of the most impactful [protests] we've done was the sit-in.

“We will be running another one of those against City next weekend.”

The last Old Trafford sit-in was in August 2023, when thousands of fans stayed behind in the stadium following a comeback win against Nottingham Forest.

Thousands of United fans protested ahead of Arsenal's visit to Old Trafford earlier this month.

And members of the 1958 joined forces with FC United fans at the club's Broadhurst Park on Saturday.

The Glazer family takeover was the catalyst for the foundation of FC United in 2005, with disgruntled fans leaving Old Trafford behind to form a new club.

The 1958 joined FCUM in their stand against the ownership and current situation around United as part of the first ‘United United Day' in six years.

MANCHESTER UNITED leapfrogged Tottenham into 13th in the Premier League by beating Leicester.

Rasmus Hojlund was left to run in behind and shoot low into the bottom corner from an angle to open the scoring on 28 minutes.

The Danish striker had not found the net since December 12 – a run of 21 matches.

Alejandro Garnacho saw a goal chalked off for offside but there was no taking his snap-shot finish off him on 67 minutes.

And skipper Bruno Fernandes rounded off the comfortable 3-0 win in style in the closing stages.

Here's how SunSport's Graham Hill rated the Man Utd stars.
