Man Utd Wags ‘face having to pay for their own Wembley trips to cheer on their men in FA Cup final against City’
MANCHESTER UNITED Wags are facing having to pay for their own FA Cup final tickets, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag‘s side are set to take on Manchester City under the Wembley arch on May 25.
For big games in the past, the Red Devils have laid on lavish travel, accommodation and even parties for players’ partners and family members.
But according to the Mirror, that is now changing under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The 72-year-old is determined to cut costs at Old Trafford, having recently vowed to “spend the club’s money effectively” in a company-wide email.
There are now fears that Ratcliffe is set to introduce a period of “austerity” at United amid a net debt of £710million.
Although the club did recently lay on a luxury day out complete with Harvey Nichols goody bags for Wags.
Man Utd’s 1,100 members of staff will each receive a complimentary ticket each for the FA Cup final.
But they will be expected to contribute £20 towards coach travel.
United’s Wags, meanwhile, will have to pay for their own tickets and travel to Wembley.
