Empty seats at Old Trafford

THE sight of empty seats at Old Trafford for Premiership games is inevitable, according to a leading Manchester United fans’ group.

United have confirmed an average season-ticket price rise of 12.3%, with some seats going up as much as 16.7%.

Although it is thought those with executive seats will be hardest hit by the rises, with a top price ticket now £39, it is claimed many fans will either be priced out of watching the Red Devils completely or choose a less expensive option of watching the game at the pub.
