London, April 3 (IANS) Manchester United on Tuesday said that both season and match ticket prices will be frozen for the seventh season in a row ahead of the upcoming 2018-19 campaign.

The price freeze is the eighth in nine years and has allowed fans to enjoy a 17 percent price reduction, the English Premier League club said in a statement on its website, reports Efe.

United have also announced the introduction of a new 15 pound sterling ($21) ticket for fans aged 18-25 in addition to other measures which the club hope will help bring younger fans to Old Trafford.

“The club enjoys unparalleled support and we recognise the sacrifice many fans make to watch the team home and away. Continuing the freeze in match and season tickets for next season is driven by our belief in supporting fans attending our games”, Manchester United’s Group Managing Director Richard Arnold said.

“The introduction of reduced ticket prices for young adults in the Stretford End lower tier stems from suggestions generated by fan groups through our Fans’ Forum, aimed at building on the tradition of vibrant support”, Arnold added.

The Old Trafford club also announced on Tuesday that the first team would return to the US for the second straight yet for its pre-season tour.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
