Manchester United have sold out season tickets for next season following Jose Mourinho's appointment as manager.

Thousands of season ticket holders hesitated on renewing while Louis van Gaal remained in charge, with the midweek April win over Crystal Palace noticeable for the swathes of empty seats, and United put back the renewal date to June 1.

But following Friday's Mourinho announcement, United confirmed supporters had snapped up season tickets for 2016-17 at Old Trafford.

As of mid-April, a source told M.E.N. Sport that season ticket sales were at a record low, mainly due to the antipathy with the tedious football United were playing under Van Gaal.

Suggestions last month United were on the brink of selling record numbers were said to be 'far-fetched' and United sent out tens of thousands of letters to supporters on the waiting list, offering them the chance to purchase a season ticket, which was unprecedented.

There was a slew of renewals ahead of the FA Cup final, with some fans under the mistaken belief it would increase their chances of obtaining a ticket to Wembley.
