Post: Manchester United players are dissatisfied with the club s stingy arrangements for the UEFA Cup final tickets

May 14th According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United players are dissatisfied with the club's stingy arrangements for tickets to the UEFA Cup finals.

Manchester United players were angry at the club's stingy arrangements for the Europa League final, including tickets, flights and hotel issues. If Manchester United beat Tottenham on May 21 and automatically qualify for the Champions League next season, they will receive up to £100 million in prize money, but co-owner Ineos is still determined to minimize costs.

It is reported that Manchester United only provides two free tickets for each player for relatives and friends, and provides chartered flights to Santander, Spain (60 miles from Bilbao). On the day of the game, the players' relatives and friends can enjoy food and drinks in the team's hotel conference room. However, if United beat Tottenham at the San Mames Stadium, the players will not be able to celebrate with friends and family as the flight back from Santander will take off at 2:15 a.m., which is more than an hour's drive from Bilbao.

In addition, players can purchase up to 10 additional UEFA tickets at face value, ranging from £200 to £55, but they have to pay for additional flight and hotel fees at their own expense. The package booked through a Manchester United travel partner costs about £900. Even if they want to rent a private jet themselves, they may not be able to find landing time in the Basque region in a short time.

It is understood that the support staff who travel with the team, including equipment managers, did not receive free tickets for relatives and friends to use. It is reported that the two sides allocated about 15,000 tickets in the Europa League final, Tottenham provided a free ticket for each full-time employee, while Manchester United only reserved a small number of tickets for employee draws. Staff who failed to go to the scene were invited to watch the game at Manchester Diecast, where each person received two drinks for free and allowed to bring a companion at his own expense.

In addition, Manchester United has been criticized for selling four-digit corporate packages, which include only one game ticket. Sportsworld, a sister company of Manchester United's official travel partner Sportsbreaks, provides day trips and overnight accommodation to fans who wish to travel to Bilbao. The day trip package costs £1,850 and includes a ticket, a charter flight and pre-match meal. The five-star hotel's two-night package costs £2,850 and includes hotels in Santander, all transport, welcome receptions and pre-match events at local restaurants. The 4-star hotel costs £2150 and is the only package available at the moment.

Sources insist that Manchester United's priority is to maximize the number of fans' tickets, with more than 90% of 14,770 tickets being directly allocated to fans who meet the criteria and successfully passed the lottery.
