Man Utd introduce pop-up pub for away match screenings at Old Trafford, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new revenue stream

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is finding more ways to generate money for Manchester United.

Along with ticket price increases and fears over season ticket licences, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been responsible for hundreds of redundancies at Manchester United.

United fan group The 1958 have arranged another protest against the club’s ownership ahead of the Premier League season opener against Arsenal.

However, it was always going to be a difficult task to restore United to their former heights, especially after 18+ years of gross mismanagement from the Glazers.

The Glazers remain majority owners, but Ratcliffe and his Ineos chiefs have full control of football operations at United.

They have increased prices that impact those who attend matches regularly, and Ratcliffe is willing to introduce new revenue streams to make more money for the running of the football club.

Man Utd set to host fans for away match screenings

It has been revealed that United are opening their doors to fans for away match screenings at Old Trafford this season.

This will cost fans £25 per match and will see supporters unable to land away match tickets the chance to get together in the international suite at Old Trafford.

The plans are to create a pub-like atmosphere with hot food and drink.

Those who pay the £25 get one free drink as well as a portion of food.

Tickets to stadium screenings of the first three away games of the season, at Fulham, Man City and Brentford, are available to season ticket holders.

Man Utd expect £7.5m from Premier League Summer Series

This year, United, Everton, West Ham and Bournemouth have crossed the Atlantic to take part in the Premier League Summer Series pre-season tournament.

According to the Daily Mail, United are expected to make the most of those involved, at around £7.5 million, due to the club’s biggest market share.

The pre-season tour is a chance for the team to gain full fitness and prepare for the new season, but the club also looks to milk any commercial activities they can do in the United States.

United have one more game to play in the United States this summer when they take on Everton this weekend. The first team will then travel back to Manchester.

Touring in the US comes with many benefits for Premier League clubs.
