The Red Devils recently beat Everton 4-0.

Following the stunning increase in the cost of tickets, Manchester United supporters have reached out to Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS with an X-rated chant.

As Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS begin a contentious cost-cutting exercise, United revealed earlier this month that they were raising ticket prices, which sparked a fierce outcry. Regardless of the buyer’s age, tickets for the rest of the season will now start at £66.

They have already laid off several employees and fired renowned former boss Sir Alex Ferguson. With United supporters creating an X-rated chant that compares them to the wildly unpopular Glazers, it seems that the tide has finally turned.

Meanwhile, on-the-pitch performance has not paid dividends as the club’s start to the new season has also resulted in a lot of scrutiny which led to the firing of Erik ten Hag.

Despite their repeated protests against the Glazer family’s ownership, many United supporters thought Ratcliffe and INEOS would provide them a new beginning.

That has not exactly played out, while the club have also been forced into a management change, removing Ten Hag and replacing him with Ruben Amorim, who has a lot of work to do at his new club.

Ruben Amorim’s start to life at Manchester United

The Red Devils started a new beginning under Amorim with a draw and things have started to look a lot better as the club has enhanced performance-wise.

The Portuguese manager finally oversaw his first win in the Europa League when United edged Bodo Glimt 3-2 and now a recent dominant 4-0 win against Everton might change the fans’ mood for some time as the club is now in ninth place of the table.

However, they could protest once again if the ticket prices result in a hike. Manchester United will next be seen in action against Arsenal on Wednesday night as Amorim’s first big test lies ahead during midweek.
