🚨BREAKING: An elderly Manchester United fan is being kicked out of his family's longstanding seat at Old Trafford to make way for a money-grabbing hospitality section.
Tony Riley, 76, travels from the Midlands for each match to use a seat his family have had since 1949, but next campaign he won't even be able to sit next to his son.
He is among 1,100 supporters being driven out to make way for corporate throne costing £315-£424 -a-head in the sir Bobby stand a-plan which is the brainchild of billionaire owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Riley's name is engraved on the seat and his father-in-law, Laurie Cassidy, played for United in the 1940s and 1950s before helping trainees such as David Beckham.
'We feel it's an injustice, not just for us but all the others as well, Riley told the Guardian. 'I just feel really sad about it. I feel helpless and hopeless.
Around 600 of the 1,100 fans have already been moved and replaced by what Riley calls the 'prawn sandwich brigade.
I now have the pleasure of sitting next to them'he said, i! don't begrudge ED them [but] they spend more time taking selfies than anything else! They are not hardcore supporters
'It's going more like American football!'
For the £315 seats, spectators get the chance to enjoy a three-course meal at Gordon Ramsay's Lucky Cat restaurant.#mufc
