It costs £25 for only two photos, and £15 for one.

City stadium tours cost between £25 and £28 per adult.

Snaps with the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies which they won last year are free.

There is a £10 option for a photo taken against a green-screen so City fans can add CGI displays of them next to their idols.

Consumer champion Martyn James said: “These charges for simply having your photo taken next to a trophy are outrageous.

“Supporting your team is becoming the equivalent of throwing a bunch of tenners in the air.”

Marc Gander of the Consumer Action Group added: “Obviously City realise that their fans are part of the team. United seem to have forgotten that.”

City say they make the trophies available in the club shop for free photos.

United declined to give a formal comment but said: “The price is part of a package which includes professional photography.”
