Manchester United have been accused of ignoring their fans following confirmation ticket prices for next season will rise by £1 per game.

A top-price season ticket at Old Trafford will now cost £950 for a 19-match Premier League home programme, with Champions League and FA Cup ties on top.

United have blamed the increases on the rise in VAT to 20%, having absorbed the initial increase when it was implemented in January this year.

However, such claims have cut little ice with the Manchester United Supporters' Trust, who remain vehemently opposed to the Glazer family's ownership of the Red Devils.

"Fans have seen prices rise 55% in the seasons since the Glazers took over. Also, with more than £100 million cash sitting in the bank unspent - they want to take yet more from ordinary supporters many of whom are struggling in difficult economic conditions," said MUST chief executive Duncan Drasdo.
