Manchester United fans are furious at the club's plans to suspend season tickets

MANCHESTER UNITED have angered fuming fans even more by telling them to buy tickets for the Champions League tie against Olympiacos - or be banned from the Manchester derby a week later.

 
 FUMING: Manchester United fans are furious that they have to buy a ticket for the game against Olympiakos or face having their season ticket suspended for the Manchester City game

 

The news will heap more dismay on supporters who have watched United lurch from one crisis to another this season.

United’s hopes of getting past the Greek outfit to reach the quarter finals are slim following this week’s shocking 2-0 defeat in Athens.

But despite this club staff sent an e-mail to season ticket holders reminding them to buy their tickets for the second leg on March 19 by 8pm last night - or serve a one-match ‘suspension’ when Manuel Pellegrini’s arch-rivals visit Old Trafford on March 25.

The email said: “The deadline to buy your ticket for Olympiacos FC is Wednesday 26th February 2014 at 8pm.

“Please note that not buying this ticket will result in your Season Ticket being suspended for the Manchester City game. We look forward to hearing from your shortly.”
