Attendances at Manchester United’s home games have been overestimated by up to 25,000, Freedom of Information requests have revealed.
The Manchester Evening News report:
Crowds at Old Trafford are much lower than the official attendance announced by United on matchdays, according to new police data.
Figures from Greater Manchester Police revealed under the Freedom of Information Act show the club did not have a crowd over 70,000 for a Premier League match this season, until last week’s derby with City.
But United regularly announce attendances in excess of 75,000.
