Manchester United plans to establish a personal seat license system for its supporters according to the Daily Mail, A first in the Premier League. This device, running in American leagues like the NFL, would force fans to pay up to 4,000 pounds sterling, or around 4,600 euros, to have the simple right to buy a subscription, without guarantee of having a place. The club's management justifies this idea as part of a possible move in a new stadium, but ensures that it is only a hypothesis for the moment.
This announcement caused the anger of many supporters, already hostile to the management of the club. The group of fans “The 1958” denounces a measure which “Excluded young people, popular classes and long -standing faithful” while accentuating “The Americanization of football”. New demonstrations are planned for this season, as a sign of protest against this project deemed elitist and disconnected from the historic values of the club.
