The Pochettino Effect? Liverpool vs Manchester United Ticket Prices Up 27%

Liverpool vs Manchester United is arguably the biggest game in English football, so it should come as no surprise that the get-in price for Anfield next Sunday starts at £341.

All eyes will be on the Manchester United dugout, as Michael Carrick has been replaced by Mauricio Pochettino.

The arrival of the Argentine coach, from the US men's national team, should infuse renewed belief into Manchester United after a wretched start to the campaign.

Manchester United will head into the blockbuster game of the Premier League weekend in the relegation zone, and Liverpool will be keen to keep them there.

Liverpool vs Manchester United Ticket Prices Spike

SeatPick has been tracking the resale prices for Liverpool vs Manchester United, and they have increased by 29% in the last 30 days.

Michael Carrick was sacked last Thursday, with Pochettino confirmed this past Friday. In the past seven days, tickets to see Liverpool play Manchester United have increased by 27%.

This points to an increased demand for tickets to see Pochettino's first game back in English football. Having made his name at Southampton and then Spurs, the Argentine last managed Chelsea in May 2024.

The average price to see Liverpool against Manchester United next Sunday currently stands at £1,080.

The starting price is even more pronounced if you want to sit in the Manchester United away section at Anfield.

There are just 3,000 tickets for away fans at Anfield, and on the resale market currently, these start from £450.

Where Liverpool vs Manchester United Ranks in the Rest of the 2026/27 Premier League Season

A £341 get-in price is steep for a single Premier League fixture, so it's worth seeing how Sunday's game compares with what's left on the calendar.

Looking across every remaining fixture this season with meaningful ticket availability, Liverpool vs Manchester United currently has the seventh-highest starting price of any game left in the Premier League, a top 3% placing out of well over 200 fixtures.

Date	Fixture	Starting Price (£)
30 May	Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion	£649
8 May	Bournemouth vs Manchester United	£547
1 May	Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur	£494
15 May	Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest	£450
23 May	Bournemouth vs Chelsea	£400
8 May	Leeds United vs Arsenal	£367
22 Nov	Liverpool vs Manchester United	£341

All ticket prices are based on SeatPick resale listings as of 15 November 2026. Prices and availability will change.

The picture looks different on average price, where Sunday's £1,080 ranks 33rd of those same fixtures, comfortably inside the top 15% but a long way back from the very top.

That's largely down to smaller grounds. Newly-promoted sides like Hull City and Coventry City have so few seats to go around for visits from the league's bigger clubs that their average resale price gets dragged up by a handful of premium listings, even when the cheapest seats stay relatively affordable.

Date	Fixture	Average Price (£)
30 May	Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion	£2,161
16 Jan	Hull City vs Arsenal	£2,127
23 May	Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town	£1,804
10 Apr	Coventry City vs Arsenal	£1,716
15 May	Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest	£1,659
1 May	Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur	£1,505

If £341 to get in still feels steep, the return fixture at Old Trafford in January is far more forgiving.

Tickets for that game start from just £166 and average £706, reflecting Old Trafford's bigger capacity and a fixture still two months away.

Both tables above feature plenty of Arsenal matches in May. These are going up in price thanks to the almost flawless start to the season from Mikel Arteta's side. With expectations that they will now secure the league title in some of these fixtures.

How to Track Liverpool and Manchester United Ticket Prices with SeatPick

Given how fast this game has moved in price, tracking is one of the simplest ways for Liverpool and Manchester United fans to avoid overpaying.

SeatPick's Price Drop Alerts let you follow resale prices for a specific fixture rather than refreshing listings yourself.

Search for a Liverpool or Manchester United game, open the listings and tap the heart icon marked "Track Event," then sign in with your email.

SeatPick will email you if the price drops by more than 10%, and if a game has no listings yet, such as a future fixture or one that's sold out, you'll be notified as soon as tickets appear.

The feature is free, with no limit on how many games you can track and up to three alert emails sent per fixture, so it's worth setting up for this weekend's rematch which is fluctuating wildly during the international break.

Is the Pochettino Effect Being Seen for Other Manchester United matches?

Intriguingly, over the last seven days, not all Manchester United matches have increased in price. Pochettino's first home game against Brentford on November 28, 2026 has gone down by 8% in the last seven days.

Meanwhile, the home Champions League match against RB Leipzig on December 8, 2026 has shot up by 32% this week.

Tottenham host the Mauricio Pochettino return on May 23, 2027. Pochettino lead Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019 and the best run of league finishes in the Premier League era. Over the last week, ticket prices for this match - the penultimate gameweek of the Premier League season - have gone up by 4%.
