Manchester United fans are up in arms about matchday programmes dedicated to Sir Bobby Charlton being sold on eBay for five times their original price.
Sellers on eBay have been spotted flogging the memorabilia for as much as £21 when the programmes were initially sold for £4.
There were huge queues for programmes last night because of the Charlton tribute and all vendors had sold out after the full-time whistle.
Sources say United are reminding fans that official programmes can still be bought online for the initial £4 price.
Fans on X, formerly Twitter, have vented frustration at the opportunistic practice following Charlton’s passing on Saturday.

United fans also sold free scarves, flags and bucket hats they were given for their finals at Wembley on eBay last year.
One fan tried to sell all three as a package for hundreds of pounds.
Manchester United are yet to publicly comment on the situation.
