55 REASONS WHY WE WANT TO BEAT UNITED
NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO aims to give Wolves fans value for money at Manchester United tonight after admitting his disappointment some supporters are being charged £55 a ticket.
Wanderers must replay at Old Trafford after the clubs drew 0–0 at Molineux in the original third round tie.
It is their 38th game of the season and away supporters who are not WWFC members must shell out £55 to get in.
Boss Nuno said: “It’s too much isn’t it? Make it cheaper. I would prefer fans do not pay too much but I cannot do anything about it.”
Despite a packed fixture list since starting Europa League qualifying in July, Nuno insists his side are not tired.
He is firing them up for their replay after reaching the FA
Cup semi-finals last season. Nuno added: “It is one of the most important stadiums in football. We have to be motivated and we are.
“We want to compete and try to play well. We have to be organised and then use our talent to compete well.
“Every chance we have to play at Old Trafford we must enjoy and embrace it but it is going to be tough.”
Nuno wants his side to start matches better after conceding the first goal in each of their last six Premier League games.
But he is preparing for tonight’s game to go to the
Live on BT Sport 1 from 7.15pm wire and even potentially penalties. He admitted: “Every player took their penalties in practice.
“In the eventuality that we go to overtime we have to assess the players on the pitch and make the right decisions.
“But we try to reproduce the situation beforehand.
“We make the player walk from the halfway line and take his time to focus and concentrate and take his penalty, it’s his moment.
“I totally believe that routines create habits.”
United have just been ranked the third-wealthiest in the world with £627million revenues, behind only Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Nuno, whose side were promoted in 2018, said: “Our ambitions are measured by how we compete, where we came from and how we are doing things.”
