Manchester United WAGs are faced with having to pay for their own FA Cup ticket for the final against Manchester City at Wembley.
The Erik Ten Hag side will be playing against the reigning champions of England, Manchester City, at Wembley Stadium on May 25, 2024.
1,100 Manchester United’s staff members will receive a complementary ticket each for the FA Cup final. However, they are expected to pay £20 for coach travel.
For big matches in the past, the Manchester United board has always provided lavish travel, accommodations, and even parties for the players, partners, and family members.
However, those privileges enjoyed by the Manchester United WAGs are going to change under the new management of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The 72-year-old INEOS CEO is determined to cut costs, having recently vowed that he is interested in spending the club money efficiently.
Currently, there are panics around the club that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to introduce a period of caution to how money was spent by the previous administration at the club.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s policy is due to the fact that the club has a debt of £710 million despite being the most valued club in the world.
Manchester United’s financial struggles have been worsened by disappointing results on the pitch, resulting in missed opportunities to win titles and get prize money.
In addition, the fans endured a leaky stadium, with footage showing water pouring from the roof in the match against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will likely pay for eight tickets for the finals. The tickets are going to be for his wife, Fern, his parents, Alan and Zoe, his brothers, Laurence and Joe, and his kids, Lille Saint and Piper Rose.
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw, who is currently injured and wants to be available for the final game of the season against Manchester City, will want to be supported on the pitch by his longtime girlfriend, Anouska Santos.
Casemiro’s partner, Anna Mariana, will be looking forward to showing the utmost support for the defensive midfielder.
Bruno Fernandes biggest fan and partner, Ana Pinho, also wants to be present to support her husband. Lindelof’s wife, Maja, also wishes her partner would be available for the match.
Lisandro Martinez’s girlfriend, Muri Lopez, will also be looking forward to watching another final after she watched the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar between Argentina and France.
Jonny Evans’ wife, Helen McConnell, will likely be in the stands with the fans in the FA Cup final. Marcus Rashford is likely to invite her new heartrob, Erica Correa, to Wembley Stadium.
