A MUST statement read: “Suffice it to say that the idea that the fans must pay their ‘fair share’ for the club’s excesses and/or mismanagement – and above all, the Glazers’ lack of investment over two decades – is offensive.

“We fans have done everything we have been asked. We have cheered the players on even in the face of substandard performance.

“We have objected to this action in the strongest possible terms, both for the action itself and the complete lack of consultation, which is a step backward based on the process we had agreed with the club before INEOS’ arrival.

“Over the coming days MUST will be seeking urgent discussions with the club to get them to listen to fans’ concern at this policy.

“United fans have sucked up a lot. We will not be silent on this and we need to be prepared to resist any attempts to further drive up ticket prices.”
