Manchester United Supporters' Trust have urged Sir Jim Ratcliffe to reconsider increased ticket prices.

United made a controversial mid-season decision to raise matchday ticket prices to £66 per game in the Premier League, with no concessions for children or pensioners.

Fans have protested against the ticket hike and Ratcliffe was confronted by angry supporters as he left Craven Cottage on Sunday. Footage of the heated exchange went viral on social media and one fan told Ratcliffe he was "taking the p***" by charging more for tickets.

Despite protests, Ratcliffe has remained committed to the price increase and MUST sent a fresh letter to United's co-owner on Monday morning in an attempt to make him reconsider.

MUST said it was the "worst possible time" to make significant changes and argued everyone needed to "pull together" to lift the team's performance after a dismal season so far.

The opening segment of the letter read: "We write to you as representatives of the Manchester United supporter community, united in our love for the club and driven by our collective desire to see Manchester United succeed on and off the pitch.

"As you consider forthcoming decisions on match ticketing policies and pricing, we urge you to pause and carefully reflect on the timing, potential consequences, and long-term impact of any major changes.

"We recognise the club ultimately makes these decisions but our intention here is to offer honest counsel, some of which your employees may be reluctant to deliver to you, to help inform these decisions.

"We also want to put this on public record in the form of an open letter to ensure supporters understand our position too. Judging by your own public comments it seems you may have come to the conclusion that ticket pricing and policies are in need of a major review. However, we strongly believe that now is the worst possible time to implement significant changes.

"With the team struggling on the pitch and fan sentiment already at a low ebb, we all need to pull together to lift the team’s performance, not risk deepening divisions or creating further dissatisfaction."

MUST also outlined why it was the wrong time to increase ticket prices and suggested a "better way forward", explaining why United should use a more "measured approach" to the situation.

United previously said the hike would only affect a small number of fans as 97 per cent of tickets had already been sold but the remainder and resold tickets will be subject to the increase.

The reality is that some supporters have been forced to walk away from attending games. One fan told the Manchester Evening News the changes were "gutting" and another slammed it as a "disgusting policy", questioning how it has been deemed fair to charge children £66 to watch a game.
