Earlier this season United also made the unusual move to raise ticket prices mid-campaign - with seats rising to a minimum £66 each with no concessions - sparking outrage as well as fears of further price hikes next season.
SIR JIM RATCLIFFE has overseen a ruthless cost-cutting campaign since buying a minority stake in Manchester United one year ago.
Ratcliffe's Ineos completed their £1.03bn purchase on February 20, 2024, with supporters initially cautiously optimistic that fortunes would begin to improve under the self-proclaimed boyhood fan.
Alongside Ineos pal Sir Dave Brailsford, the British billionaire has since risked the wrath of supporters by making brutal cuts across the club.
In a recent report by the Telegraph, several more cost-cutting measures implemented by Ineos were revealed, following pre-tax losses of £313m over the last three years.
