"We have a clear objective to return Manchester United to the top of domestic and European football. We want to keep investing in the team and improving our facilities so fans get the best possible experience. We also need to make sure the club stays financially sustainable, taking into account inflation and rising costs."
"It is disappointing that the club has ignored our call, as part of the FSA's league-wide campaign, for a ticket-price freeze. Supporters are paying more and more to watch their team, and as the FSA campaign said: enough is enough. We've also learned that 600 more loyal fans are being moved for ever more hospitality."
Manchester United announced a 5% increase in ticket prices for the 2026-27 season, equating to approximately £2 per match for adult season tickets and £1 for under-16s. The club justifies the increase as necessary to invest in the team and facilities while maintaining financial sustainability amid inflation and rising costs. United aims to return to the top of domestic and European football and mark their 150th anniversary in 2028 with a league title. However, the Manchester United Supporters Trust criticized the decision, noting it contradicts the Football Supporters' Association's campaign for a ticket-price freeze. Additionally, 600 more loyal fans will be relocated to accommodate hospitality seats in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand.
