Manchester United are struggling to fill their corporate boxes at Old Trafford.

The Daily Mail says United have failed to sell out all their spaces for the past two seasons, and interest has nose-dived to the extent that United sales staff are now trawling back through a five-year-old box-holders list to attract new business.

There is plenty of availability for seats in eight different corporate sections of the ground while a number of four-seater tables, as well as six-seater and eight-seater boxes, remain unsold.

A United spokesman said: "The credit crunch is affecting United like every other club."
