Former Manchester United player Norman Whiteside’s wife, Denise Whiteside, attacked The Red Devils on X recently after her retired husband’s seat in the Theatre of Dreams was moved without notice. United apologized as follows:

‘These happen for various reasons, including, next season, the moving of matchday hospitality seats into consolidated blocks to address fan concerns about them being dispersed around the stadium.

‘Other changes next season include the removal of hospitality seating from the Stretford End and installation of further rail seating in the North-West Quadrant, bringing benefits to many fans but also causing some disruption.

‘No additional hospitality seats are being created at the expense of season ticket-holders – in fact hospitality seating will reduce by more than 500 next season.

‘We are committed to working with all season ticket-holders affected by relocations, including Norman, to find them the best possible alternative seats elsewhere in the ground.’

But Mrs Whiteside was not satisfied. She went over to the social media to say that she was not representing only her family when she recently criticized Manchester United.

‘It’s not just about Norman, many of the “United family” we sit with have been in that block for 20-30+ years, and are all really angry about this ENFORCED seat relocation.

‘At a time when the football has been less than spectacular and the season ticket price is increasing!’

Below is her first social media post:

‘So, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a loyal supporter. Doesn’t matter if you played for your club, @ManUtd can just dump you from your seat when they feel like it, so they can expand exec seating! Absolute disgrace!

‘I’d like to make clear that this post is not just about Norman. There are a whole block of loyal supporters who expressed their views to me at the West Ham game, but they feel as if they have no voice or platform to voice their anger.’
