Man United 'slash ticket prices for Manchester derby due to lack of sales' - after Sir Jim Ratcliffe controversially raised them to £66 earlier this season

Manchester United have reportedly almost halved their ticket prices for Sunday's derby after a lack of uptake.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe made a deeply unpopular decision earlier this season when he elevated ticket prices for members to £66, even removing concessions for OAPs and kids.

Fans have hit back with a series of protests against the ownership, with thousands turning out before the draw with Arsenal earlier this month, and are planning a sit-in for the clash with Manchester City.

And it appears they may have made a dent, as United have cut ticket prices for the derby to £40, and re-introduced concessions at £25, according to The Sun.
