United ticket prices skyrocket for in-demand Manchester Derby as supporters sell seats

Manchester United fans are desperate to cash in on the City derby this weekend, according to reports.

Some supporters have taken advantage of the demand for tickets at Old Trafford.

And the hype surrounding Saturday’s mouthwatering clash (12.30pm) are seeing figures as high as £800 paid by fans to go to the game.

Jose Mourinho takes on arch-rival Pep Guardiola for the first time in Manchester following their chequered history in La Liga together.

Meanwhile, busy summers in the transfer markets have left United and City as the top two favourites to lift the Premier League title this season.

With so much riding on the result, The Sun report seats are being sacrificed online.

Secondary selling websites such as Stubhub have seen top tickets go for £800 each in the build-up to Saturday.

Meanwhile, seats with a face value worth £126 are being sold for upwards of £650 too.

Following both team’s perfect record in the league so far, whoever comes out victorious in the Manchester derby will go top in the Premier League table.

Many tantalizing sub-plots await the Manchester Derby, and these two unbeaten cross-town rivals will play in the most anticipated early season match.

This clash will showcase some of the top players in the world both young and old, two legendary coaches, and two top ten clubs in Europe.

Despite the amount of ability both teams have going forward, we may be in store for a gritty, hard-fought defensive struggle.

Both have injury setbacks and are susceptible defensively, so they may be content to sit back with numbers and counter attack.

Mourinho has been known for his “park the bus” technique against tough competition, while City are on the road and without their starting striker.

Either way, it promises to be an excellent matchup and very entertaining.
