Hundreds of Manchester United fans gathered outside Old Trafford ahead of the Sunday match against Everton to protest the club's decision to raise ticket prices to £66 on matchdays, without offering any discounts for children or pensioners.

Details: Fans held a banner in front of the Trinity statue that read "Stop exploiting loyalty" and chanted at Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club's owners, the Glazer family, accusing them of being intrusive and hypocritical. Crowds gathered outside the stadium, lighting flares and shouting "Jim Ratcliffe is an idiot," followed by loud chants of “Glazers out!”

Reminder: This month, United sparked anger among fans by setting ticket prices at £66 and canceling benefits. One fan group described it as “a disgusting low blow.”

This move is part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos's ongoing efforts to cut costs and increase the club's revenue, which has led to a significant rise in earnings for the remainder of the season.

The club claims that this will affect only three percent of fans, as 97 percent of tickets for remaining matches have already been sold. However, officials say no final decision has been made for next season.
