Set up in 1985, the charity helps former footballers who didn't earn the millions raked in by today’s superstars.,. Ratcliffe - who is worth £23.5billion - has recently raised ticket prices and even axed the club's famous Christmas party. Outspoken United fan and YouTuber Mark Goldbridge is the latest to rail against the cost-cutting measures.

Speaking on The United Stand, he said: "It's more than ridiculous - it's a disgrace. "This football club may be about winning on the pitch, this football club may be about transfers. "But this football club is also [about] community. He added: "This is not what we want at our football club.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS. "Good people are being sacked. Good people are not getting bonuses. And now good people are getting their costs cut.". Fans were quick to agree, with one demanding "answers" from Ratcliffe over the decision to cut the charity support.
One fan fumed on X: "Sir Jim Ratcliffe needs to do an interview and explain what is currently going on with his running of Manchester United. We need answers.". Another argued: "Has any owner in Premier League history made as many PR gaffes as Jim Ratcliffe in his first 12 months in charge? I don’t think so.".
