WHAT HAPPENED?
Ratcliffe has continued his cost-cutting measures at United by limiting the amount of tickets each player is allowed for next week's final Europa League final against Tottenham, leaving a number of Red Devils stars unimpressed by the decision. According to the Daily Mail, there will be just two tickets available per squad member, news which comes shortly after it was revealed manager Ruben Amorim will pay out of his own pocket for 30 of United's staff to attend the game with their families.

It was hoped Ratcliffe's investment in United last year would usher in a period of greater stability after decades of mismanagement from the Glazers. However, the INEOS chief's penny-pinching has drawn criticism from fans while on-field results have been poor aside from the run to the Europa League final.
