"Automatic Cup"

Manchester United are facing legal action from their own fans over the controversial ‘automatic cup scheme’.

The plan, which makes it compulsory for fans to buy tickets for all cup games at Old Trafford, had previously been obligatory only for new season-ticket holders.

But for the first time this summer, it has been extended to the remaining 25 per cent of existing season-ticket holders who have not previously signed up.

United played 10 home cup games in the past campaign and a repeat of that would see a minimum of £390 added to the cost of the most expensive season ticket next season.

The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust have already engaged a leading legal firm to act on their behalf and are ready to take the matter to the courts.
