Paul Scholes has beaten Manchester United by claiming that the club begs 'financially a bit', even though he has been known for many years as one of the richest clubs in football.
Man United announced plans last week to build a brand new £ 2 billion stadium, 100,000 seats to bring the club in the future, with a new site that has long been discussed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
But it comes at a time when the moral around the club is low, with United who struggles in 13th place in the Premier League and is struggling for every consistency or form in the early stages of the Ruben Amorim era.
Even worse, Ratcliffe himself gave an interview with five of his own players last week because she did not pay well enough or too much by United.
For Scholes, however, there is clearly a level of doubt about whether what has been promised will be delivered, for which caution of fans will be advocated in their optimism.
'You can sometimes be gullible and believe what he [Sir Jim Ratcliffe] Says, just because you have never heard anyone say anything before, “said Scholes, talking about the overlapping Fandebat, offered you by Sky Bet.
'You don't know how realistic it is, it's all in the air. Words are cheap, and we can say everything about everyone, you can say that we have the largest and best stadium in the world in 10 years, you can say everything!
“For a long time we have been called the richest club in the world, but I have the feeling that we beg a little, but I come out and ask for the stadium and that we need £ 2 billion and sell players to buy players.”
United is planning to pay for the stadium and elements that benefit them directly, but rely on public financing for the rest of the project and the broader regeneration of the Old Trafford area, in which Konselier Rachel Reeves supports the plans.
The time of Ratcliffe in the club, just over a year, is characterized by cuts and cost-saving measures, because the new co-owner wants to strengthen the financial situation at Old Trafford.
Such a topic that has proven to be an increasingly thornier subject is the ticket prices of the club.
Earlier this week it was revealed that the ticket prices of the season would rise again before 2025-26.
The club believes that the increase of approximately £ 2.50 per match is close to inflation and reflects their rising costs that they cannot continue to absorb.
The seasonal card prices for adults will now vary between £ 608- £ 1,121. Youth and senior tickets are lower and United have also applied a blanket 25 percent concession for all OAPS, some of whom benefited from a saving of 50 percent.
But the confidence of the Manchester United supporters said they were 'disappointed' that the club called calls to freeze all prices.
Must express his concern about plans to relocate fans behind the Dugouts in Old Trafford and sell their seats at higher prices in a new VIP area, and also charge non-season card holders more for premium games using a match categorization model.
They also challenged United about an increase in the minimum user requirement of the seasonal card holder for 16 of the 19 Premier League matches, the decision to impose £ 10 costs on fans who return their tickets to the club less than two weeks before the competition, and an increase of 15 percent in parking costs.
United Chief Executive Omar Bercrada said: 'We appreciate the loyal and patient support of our fans, and in particular our seasonal card holders who represent the core of our match-going support basis.
'We understand the importance of their support for the team and have worked hard to think of a price package that is honest and reasonable.
'After 11 consecutive years of freezing, we have increased the prices by five percent in the past two seasons and we intend to do the same for next season to compensate for the continued increases in operating costs.
'We understand that every price increase is undesirable, especially during a period of underperformance on the field, and we have listened carefully to the strong arguments that the FAB (fans of the advisory board) for a freezing of a freezing forward.
“However, the club has decided that it would not be correct to keep prices unchanged while the costs are rising and the club continues to experience financial problems.”
