Lift off for Ruben Amorim? Where to buy last-minute tickets for Ruben Amorim’s first home game as Manchester United manager in Premier League
Manchester United fans are, rightly or wrongly, optimistic again. Ipswich Town are managed by former United coach Kieran McKenna, but there is renewed belief at Old Trafford that they can move in the right direction after a smooth end to Erik ten Hag's tenure.
New manager Ruben Amorim certainly has a track record of reviving old forces, and doing so in spectacular fashion. After doing exciting work at Braga, he took Sporting CP to two Portuguese leagues after a decades-long drought.
BUY TICKETS FOR MANCHESTER UNITED V EVERTON
Although United have only just passed a decade since Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford for his last title, Amorim will be well aware of the magnitude of the task ahead of him. The Red Devils face Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, which will attract slightly less attention, but at 1.30pm on Sunday you would expect a rapturous response from Old Trafford.
Standing in the way will be Sean Dyche's Everton. On the face of it, Merseyside Blues aren't quite the force they were in the early 2000s either, but few coaches in the Premier League are smarter than Sean Dyche and have more experience of playing the spoiler. However, it will be a big event, with Amorim doing his best to win over the crowd at the first doors. United have won in four of their last five games against Everton, so anything short of a win will be seen as a major disappointment.
If you're keen to attend their first Premier League appearance under the Portuguese manager, the lunchtime kick-off at Old Trafford will likely be attended via an external ticketing website, such as LiveFootballTickets.com. Everton have decided to only sell to season ticket holders with 5+ credits, and are currently not running general sales.
Manchester United are still selling tickets for Sunday's match, but fans must become members of the club to purchase a ticket. Third-party websites such as Footballticket.net offer tickets from €68 per person, although finding seats together may mean paying more. Fanpass also sells tickets from €59.
The advantage of a site like LiveFootballTickets.com is the trust factor. More than 12,000 fans have given them a trust rating of 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, one of the UK's respected consumer trust sites. They also offer a 150% money back guarantee on all their tickets if any issues arise, which should relax anyone worried about buying tickets so close to the event itself. LiveFootballTickets.com starts their prices at €68, and at the time of writing has easily the most of any third party ticketing website with 2776 for sale at the time of writing.
