Manchester United fans 'angered by Cambridge United's FA Cup ticket prices'

Man Utd fans 'angered by Cambridge tickets'

Manchester United fans have expressed their discontent after Cambridge United raised their ticket prices for their FA Cup fourth-round tie against the Red Devils later this month.

The Premier League giants will travel to the Abbey Stadium on January 23 to face the League Two outfit, who have charged away fans £30 to attend.

Despite the figure being less than regular top-flight prices, it is a significant hike on the £19 tickets offered to Cambridge's third-round opponents Luton Town.

"Once again profit comes before the fans," the Daily Mail quotes Andrew Kilduff of the Stretford End Flags group as saying. "With these clubs trying to scrape every last penny from supporters.

"Cambridge stand to have a massive windfall from a full house and extra TV and commercial revenue, not to mention increased exposure. It's disappointing that once again fans will have to pay extra to experience this so-called cup magic."

Louis van Gaal's side secured a 2-0 win over Yeovil Town to progress into the next phase of the competition.
