Manchester United Hit Record ticket Sales following Louis van Gaal's World Cup Perfomance with Netherlands



Manchester United have sold all 55,000 season tickets in record time ahead of Louis van Gaal’s arrival in England this week.
Van Gaal’s exploits in taking Holland to the World Cup semi-finals in Brazil has fired a surge of interest among United fans and a message on the official club website last night confirmed that season tickets are now sold out for 2014/15.

It is the earliest United have reached this point since the stadium was expanded to 76,000 fans in 2006. The remaining 21,000 seats are held back for away fans and supporters who want to attend individual matches.
The news of an upturn in ticket sales will be a huge boost and relief to United who are expecting to unveil van Gaal to the world’s media at Old Trafford on Thursday before they depart for their pre-season American tour.

After last season’s disappointing seventh-place finish under David Moyes which meant the club will not be involved in Europe, they wrote to their eight thousand corporate-seat holders agreeing to reduce prices by 15%.

Unlike season-ticket holders, corporate tickets are used for cup matches as well.
Whereas Moyes wanted to give all United’s players a chance to prove themselves last summer, van Gaal is expected to make quick decisions about who he wants to stay.
