'It’s not the Man United I know and loved': Nicky Butt slams ticket price raises
Former Man United midfielder Nicky Butt has criticised the club's handling of ticket price raises.
"There are a lot of things I think they’re doing wrong, but we all know that and it’s sad to see, because I’ve loved Manchester United since I was six years of age and it’s not the Manchester United that I know and loved,” Butt said as quoted by The Times.
"I find it bizarre how the ticket prices keep going up. They can’t keep going up. Something’s got to stop, something’s got to give. They’ve not got the added fallback of winning loads of medals.
"I see where it’s coming from. They are trying to balance the books, but they’re punishing the wrong people, in my eyes."
Man United announced a five per cent raise on most season ticket categories, amounting to an average increase of £2.50 per game.
