Manchester United have released six “key takeaways” from the recently held Fans’ Forum.
The meeting was reconvened for the second time this season on Monday 16 December.
The Fans’ Forum is an excellent initiative that amplifies the voices of supporters, providing a crucial platform for them to express their opinions, share concerns, and engage directly with United’s executives.
Initially dismissed as a token gesture by the club, its perception has evolved significantly over time.
Earlier today, United confirmed that they sat down with fan representatives to deliberate on operational matters that affect supporters on matchday.
These issues that were discussed include ticketing policing and concessions, season-ticket renewals, redevelopment of Old Trafford, charity contributions and fan engagement initiatives.
Ticket pricing and concessions in particular have been a thorny issue in recent times although United have seemingly not budged on this.
Here are the six key takeaways from the Fan Forum:
The full minutes from the December meeting can be accessed here.
The next Fan Forum will be held in March 2025.
United are currently facing a challenging period, with three losses in their last four Premier League matches. The Red Devils have been beaten by Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth in that period, having beaten Manchester City at the Etihad last weekend.
Ruben Amorim’s men currently lie in 13th position in the Premier League standings, having gained just 22 points from a possible 51.
United are nine points adrift of Nottingham Forest, who are fourth.
The 20-time English champions return to action on Boxing Day when they make their way to Molineux Stadium to take on a resurgent Wolverhampton Wanderers.
