Man United players frustrated over strict ticket allocation for Europa League final

Manchester United players are reportedly frustrated after being allocated just two tickets each for family and friends ahead of the Europa League final against Tottenham.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has continued his cost-cutting approach at Old Trafford, with the latest measure limiting the number of tickets available to each squad member for the showpiece event in Bilbao next week.

According to the Daily Mail, United’s players will receive only two tickets apiece – a decision that has not gone down well in the dressing room.

The news follows reports that manager Ruben Amorim will personally fund tickets for 30 members of United’s backroom staff and their families to attend the final, highlighting the lack of club support in this area.

When Ratcliffe completed his investment in Manchester United last year, many fans hoped it would mark the beginning of a more stable and ambitious era after years of underperformance and disarray under the Glazers.

However, his frugal policies have sparked criticism, especially as the Red Devils continue to struggle on the pitch, Europa League run aside.

Both United and Spurs have been allocated 15,000 tickets each for the final at San Mames, though Tottenham fans are expected to travel in greater numbers and create a more dominant atmosphere in Bilbao.

Before focusing fully on the final, United face a tough Premier League test on Friday night against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

A win could see Amorim’s side climb to 13th in the table, offering a small morale boost ahead of their biggest game of the season.
