ManU Season Tickets Sell Out After José Mourinho Appointment

ManU have sold out season tickets for next season "following José Mourinho's appointment as manager," according to the MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS. Thousands of season ticket holders "hesitated on renewing while Louis van Gaal remained in charge, with the midweek April win over Crystal Palace noticeable for the swathes of empty seats," and ManU put back the renewal date to June 1. But following Friday's Mourinho announcement, the club "confirmed supporters had snapped up season tickets" for '16-17 at Old Trafford. As of mid-April, a source said that season tickets sales "were at a record low, mainly due to the antipathy" with the tedious football ManU was playing under van Gaal. Suggestions last month that ManU was "on the brink of selling record numbers" were said to be "far-fetched" and the club sent out tens of thousands of letters to supporters on the waiting list, offering them the chance to purchase a season ticket, "which was unprecedented" (MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS, 6/2).
