Manchester United are to freeze ticket prices next season. The club had been considering whether to increase prices to help with the club's enormous interest payments on their debt.

The Glazer family have been attacked for the size of price rises since their controversial takeover in 2005 and it was claimed further increases would be implemented despite the ongoing worldwide economic problems.

However, the club have announced prices will be pegged next term, which will come as a welcome relief to supporters.

Season tickets have gone up by an average of 48% since the Glazer family took over in 2005 and by as much as 69% in some areas of Old Trafford, much to the anger of sections of the club's support.

United were the only club in the Premier League not to reduce or freeze season-ticket prices for the current season. Instead, the Premier League champions asked their 55,000 season-ticket holders to pay an extra £1 for each match.
