The only player they got on a free in the starting eleven last night was Donnarumma, but they are paying him 10mil euros a year AFTER tax so not sure what the top level tax in France is.

I wonder how long before we're doing similar to those in the lower Trinity.

"I was sat here before you were born!"

Michael Carney's homemade placard aimed at Manchester United's hierarchy during Sunday's derby was blunt, impactful and certainly eye-catching.

"74 years of loyal support - for what?" was written on the other side.

Carney, 81, held his sign towards the Old Trafford directors' box midway through the second-half of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Manchester City.

At the end of the match, hundreds of United supporters made their feelings known about next season's ticket price rises, the cutting of concessions and the amount of money paid to service United's £1bn debt, with a wider 'sit-in' protest arranged by the 1958 fan group.

For Carney and those who sit around him in the lower section of the Sir Bobby Charlton stand, the issue is more personal.

At the bottom of their season ticket renewal letter this year, there was a note from the club.

"We have identified a small number of general admission tickets directly adjacent to the home and away dugouts that will be converted to hospitality seats this summer.

"This reflects the high value of this unique location and will help to raise hospitality revenue to keep general admission Season Ticket prices lower. Your current seat is included within this block, and we will therefore need to find you an alternative seat for next season."

Carney has been sitting in the same seat since 1980. Before that, he was in what used to be known as the 'United Road', which is now the Sir Alex Ferguson stand.

The Witton Upper concourse limitations is probably the only thing holding our seats back from being converted to corporate .

It's not new really. My mate and his Dad had prime seats in the Trinity at the front overlooking the halfway line for around 15 years. They were moved for this sort of thing when it was the old stand so that dates back to Ellis days.

Catering and toilet facilities seat service would be interesting.

Relative cheap in that they were not paying 100Million in transfers, but getting 2 for that price. But that PSG figure is from last year so would still be paying Mbappe. I did read that when they got Don Rummy on a free, his wages were reported as 10mill a year AFTER tax.
