Marc Gander at the Consumer Action Group, said: “An out-of-touch boardroom which celebrates success by awarding a penalty against their own fans shows they only understand the ‘bottom line’.
“Nothing about loyalty, nothing about shame…and nothing about football either.”
Martyn James, independent consumer champion, said: “This blatant money grab from Manchester United is particularly galling.
“There are some things that fans shouldn’t have to pay for – and a photo of the contents of the trophy cabinet is one of them.
“Times are hard and fans shouldn’t be priced out of these precious moments.
United declined to give a formal comment but said they charged for photography as a “commercial product” and “fans seem happy to pay for it”.
