Pep Guardiola has said he will do what he can to assist Manchester City fans disgruntled with the club’s ticketing policy. Four supporter groups wrote an open letter to the manager this week, asking him to speak to the chief executive, Ferran Soriano, on the matter, as they prepare to hold a protest before Friday’s match at home to Wolves.

City fans have demonstrated at recent fixtures over season tickets, matchday prices and the use of resale websites to sell tickets. The four groups – 1894, MCFC Fans Foodbank Support, Trade Union Blues and Solid Citizens – want Guardiola’s help to protect the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium by not pricing out fans. The club have frozen season ticket prices for next season but there are concerns about the lack of new ones being made available.
