United will sell tickets, priced at £40 for adults and £20 for kids, to fans based on the loyalty points system, and those who requested a refund from the club when games went behind-closed-doors last season have been excluded from purchasing them.

Here’s how some Blades fans reacted on Twitter...

@mike_g_sheff: Relegated weeks ago, then charging £40 a ticket, and excluding fans who needed a refund from their 19/20 ST. Awful decision by the club. Punishing season tickets holders who needed the cash back during an economic crisis is shameful.

@LWCon_86: Another blunder in a series of blunders to compound a miserable season. £40 and £20 is ridiculous anyway, but to watch an abysmal side for one game when the club has had 2 seasons of PL money just stinks. Just losing touch with fans at the minute it seems

@steelcitycordon: @Saudi49er you should hold your head in shame charging £40 a ticket for last game of season this should be free or at the most £10 this is disgusting

@andymorton81: Why are they insisting on loyalty points? Surely season ticket holders and ballots is right. How can any of the kids have 40/45000 loyalty points? Unfair.

@thedon152: They’ve got so much wrong with this it makes you think they’ve done it for a laugh. I still remember the words don’t judge my words judge my actions.

@craigsablade30: To think someone actually thought charging £40 was a good idea . The detachment grows

@Algarvegit: I think they should be paying people £40 to make the effort

@shane_robshaw: It will sell out no doubt, but the club have dropped the ball on this 100%

@allip75: Absolutely outrageous, as much as I’ve missed going to BDTBL I’ll be giving this a miss! Forty quid is just ridiculous pricing for such a non event of a game. Honestly love you in the good times and bad #sufc but I’ll wait till I can have my own seat back next season!

@1984_mjb: Looks like it will be easy enough to get a ticket for the Burnley game then, all i've seen is people complaining about £40 price. I'd pay £100 it's been that long.

@1JonDavies1988: Whoever made the decision about the price has had an absolute shocker. Why not ballet it and make it tenner a go

@NxthxnSUFC: No way we're charging £40 when we've won 5 games all season

@_joshchapman98: Well any excitement for the return of fans has quickly been wiped away by seeing those prices. No chance am I paying £40 to watch us get ripped apart by Chris Wood. Not a good look for the club.

@Elljayfish: Hang on, can only have 5,000+ but probably still have to pay as many staff to work on the day, so sensible pricing if you ask me! I bet most of you have paid that for away games!

@harryroyston15: “We look after the fans” £40 for a nothing match? Seriously after the season we’ve just had and had to deal with the departure of the best manager in my lifetime. Shame on you
