Manchester United supporters have slammed the ‘fresh kick in the teeth’ as ticket prices continue to rise under . The Red Devils unveiled a controversial new pricing strategy ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Season tickets have increased by around five percent, while a new approach for non-season ticket supporters has been implemented. United have categorised their fixtures for next season, with some more expensive than others.

Category A fixtures are the most expensive at between £59 and £97, with six league fixtures being assigned that category including versus , , , , and .

And that new approach has not gone down well with fans. A statement from the Supporters’ Trust read: "This really is a fresh kick in the teeth for Manchester United fans.

“Once again, they have failed to consult any of the fans representative bodies on the details of the decision, and once again they’re making choices against the interests of fans and, we believe, the Club as a whole."

Meanwhile, the club’s Fans’ Advisory board has also spoken out on the change in ticketing prices and strategy. A statement read: “We, the Manchester United Fans’ Advisory Board, strongly advocated for an across-the-board price freeze for 2025/26 season, one we felt was justified due to the current circumstances.

“While we did not get the freeze we argued for, we are relieved that the club was persuaded to limit the increases to the same percentage rise as recent seasons, and we are pleased they froze prices for our youngest fans.

“We also shared our concerns over policy changes and advised against any immediate changes without consultation including those to minimum usage, match categorisation, concessions and relocations. However, we welcome the club's renewed commitment not to make any such future changes without consultation with fans including through MUST, FAB and the Fans' Forum.

“We acknowledge that the senior leadership of the club, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Omar Berrada, made themselves available throughout the process and the club were well informed of fans’ feelings when making their decisions.”

also said: “While they did not agree with all the decisions, we would like to thank the members of our FAB for their tough but constructive advice throughout the consultation process. We believe that, taken together, these measures represent a fair and balanced outcome for fans, while generating additional revenues to strengthen the club.”

The changes have been too much for legendary former United star Norman Whiteside, a year after the relocation of his seat.
