Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has launched a scathing attack on the club's recent decision to increase ticket prices, deeming it "ridiculous" given the team's current predicament.

A Disappointed Legend

"INEOS have been in charge for nearly a year, and it's still all negative," Scholes declared. "I can't think of anything positive they've done for the club. How can you justify asking Manchester United fans to pay more for this product?"

Fan Frustration Grows

The former midfielder expressed his frustration with the team's underwhelming performances this season, emphasizing the disconnect between on-field results and the club's financial decisions. "We're probably having the worst Premier League season in our history, and they have the nerve to put the prices up," Scholes continued. "£66 for a ticket is an absolute disgrace. If you consider the cost of taking a family to a game – a child's ticket is also now £66 – it easily adds up to £300-400. It's simply not fair, especially for families who are already struggling financially."

A Lack of Care for the Fans

Scholes' criticism highlights a growing sense of disillusionment amongst many Manchester United fans. The club's recent on-field struggles, coupled with the significant investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have raised expectations. However, the lack of tangible progress and the decision to increase ticket prices have further alienated a significant portion of the fanbase.

"If Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a United fan who grew up in a part of Manchester, is putting up prices, it shows they don't care," Scholes concluded. "They are more concerned about maximizing profits than about the fans who have supported the club through thick and thin."

Scholes' outspoken criticism is likely to resonate with many fans who feel that the club is prioritizing financial gain over the interests of its supporters. The decision to increase ticket prices while on-field performances remain underwhelming has further eroded the trust between the club and its fanbase.
