Manchester United are bracing for fresh fan protests as anger grows over a proposed Personal Seat Licence (PSL) scheme.
The plan — which would charge supporters up to £4,000 (€4,700) just for the right to buy a season ticket, without even guaranteeing a seat — has sparked major backlash, according to the Daily Mail.
Supporters’ group The 1958 has condemned the idea, calling it “another step towards the Americanisation of our game” and warning it would price out loyal fans, especially youth and local supporters. While the club insists the PSL concept is only hypothetical at this stage, its inclusion in stadium consultations has only deepened distrust.
Growing disconnect
This comes after multiple protests last season against the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos group.
Despite new signings like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, and a better preseason showing, the fanbase remains furious over rising prices and what they see as a growing disconnect between the club’s leadership and its working-class roots.
More demonstrations are expected as tensions rise ahead of the new season.
