Sir Jim Ratcliffe has held robust talks with Manchester United fans over ticket prices after the billionaire warned of the need to raise funds during a meeting at Carrington on Thursday.

Ratcliffe, 72, met with the Fan Advisory Board to hear supporters' views as the club considers their approach over season tickets next season. Fans are concerned costs will rise following the controversial decision to increase the price of seats for certain matches to £66 and axe concessions in the middle of the campaign.

United's financial issues have led to Ratcliffe and Ineos axing 250 jobs at the club and Mail Sport reported last week that another 100-plus staff are set to be made redundant to free up money for first-team spending.
