Manchester United fans have been left fuming after tickets for this summer's preseason friendly at the Aviva Stadium sold-out rapidly.
Tickets for United's clash with Athletic Bilbao on August went on general sale this morning and fans have almost instantly snapped up every ticket available.
The game is set to follow the pattern of United's two previous games at Lansdowne Road in 2010 and 2017, with a capacity crowd of over 51,000 expected to see the 13-time Premier League Champions.

A visit to these shores is quite rare for United given this will be just the third time in 13 years that they have played in Ireland and fans were understandably keen to see the men in red. Many have been left disappointed however and took to Twitter to voice their displeasure at tickets selling out so quickly.
"were there no tickets made available for the Manchester United game in the Aviva? I was queueing and at 12pm it said couldn’t find the tickets I searched for?" said one user.
While another said, "you absolute s*** show. 5 mins before tickets go on sale you log me out and then when I try to sign in again it just keeps saying to try again. What an absolute joke. Pre sale was a disaster yesterday as well.
Another wrote, "That smart queue is a joke.....twice I had tickets in my basket during presale only for this error to come up when I was trying to checkout...."
"Your website is a JOKE, top of the waiting list for a ticket, the Man U members pre sale link wouldn't work, get into the waiting room at 12:01pm and there's no tickets left? What a sh1t show," wrote another user.
Another said, "trying to joint the queue to get tickets for the Man United game in the Aviva and this keeps happening ? What’s the story with it ?"
"Man United v Athletic Bilbao game in Aug in Aviva Stadium Dublin was Sold Out in 9mins this morning. 52,000 tickets," said another.
"why can I not book tickets to the Man United v Bilbao game even though I’m through the Q, are they sold out?" said another.
While one more said, "hi I had 4 tickets for the man United and Bilbao game and half way through paying it says there not available, think this is a disgrace as our tickets are now gone and had a hotel and everything booked."
United will begin their Premier League season with a home clash against Wolves on Monday August 14th.
