Sir Jim Ratcliffe was hounded by his own fans as he left Craven Cottage on Sunday night with the Man United minority owner continuing to persevere over his controversial ticket-price hike. Fans have been left furious at the club's decision to raise matchday ticket prices midseason to £66 per game, with no concessions for children or pensioners.

The decision led to protests at Old Trafford with hundreds turning up to show their anger before December's clash with Everton. Sir Jim responded to the protests days later by doubling down and saying 'I don't think it makes sense for a Manchester United ticket to cost less than a ticket to see Fulham.

‘I don’t want to end up in a position where the genuine local fans can't afford to come, but I do want to optimise the ticketing. ‘We need to find a balance. And you can't be popular all the time either.'. Sir Jim Ratcliffe was accosted by angry fans as he left Craven Cottage on Sunday night.
