Mourinho said that the atmosphere at the club was worse that Fratton Park, where the capacity is 50,000 lower

Manchester United executives will meet supporters later this month amid growing concern at the club over the poor atmosphere at Old Trafford.

José Mourinho, the United manager, complained after Saturday’s 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town that the home crowd were “quiet”. Mourinho added that he felt the atmosphere was worse than the one he encountered at Portsmouth’s Fratton Park ground, which holds just 21,000, during his first spell as Chelsea manager.

Mourinho’s view is shared by a number of United fans and figures at the club, including Chris Moss, the Ticketing and Marketing Strategy Operations manager, who admitted at a fans’ meeting in November at that the atmosphere at Old Trafford “could be improved”.
