United’s PSL plan under pressure as ticket clampdown bites funding drive
However, Manchester United’s plan to sell personal seat licenses is under government pressure.
The project would fund a £2bn redevelopment of Old Trafford.
Internal documents describe PSL holders who could sell their seats at a profit.
Additionally, the government is clamping down on ticket touts to curb profiteering.
Officials say tickets must be sold at fair prices rather than for profit.
United’s strategy could be jeopardised if tighter rules come in.
The club insists the PSL model would support long term stadium upgrades.
Marcus Rashford could be drawn into the debate if resale rules tighten.
The timeline for the project remains uncertain as policy details develop.

- Government pressure threatens United’s PSL funding plan for Old Trafford.
