The British media "Manchester Evening News" reported that Manchester United blamed the increase in food and beverage costs on the increase in prices at its kiosks.
Since the start of the season, fans have been troubled by rising costs, with the price of a bottle of Carlsberg beer (500ml) rising by 30% and the price of a pint of Madrid beer rising by 51%.
In the past few years, local fans have believed that they were unable to attend home games because of excessive ticket prices, and Manchester United also faced backlash last season due to excessive ticket prices.
In recent fan forums, the issue of rising kiosk costs has been discussed. United were asked why they had raised prices without consulting fans, which was inconsistent with previous years.
Manchester United said: "We have tried reducing beer prices over the past two seasons based on fan feedback. Unfortunately, food and drink costs have also risen significantly since the last comprehensive review of kiosk prices, by around 25% to 30% over the past three years."

"The most significant changes are that the price of a Carlsberg beer (500ml) has increased from £3.80 to £4.95, but is still lower than the price three years ago, while the price of a pint of Madrid beer has increased from £3.80 to £5.75. "
"While these adjustments are an increase from recent seasons, our prices remain competitive. The price of a pint of beer at Old Trafford is still below the Premier League average of £6. It's also lower than the average price of £6.29 at five local pubs frequented by fans on matchdays. Old Trafford will continue to offer the ninth-cheapest beer in the Premier League, according to public figures. "
