- United will have another trophy-less season, and the team’s top four hopes still hang in the balance
- The supporter group known as ‘The1958’, want to stand outside Old Trafford for 17 minutes as the Norwich game is being played
Manchester United fans are planning to stage protests against the club owners ahead of the clash against Norwich City.
United is currently in shambles, and the state of the club was summed up after a lowly defeat to Everton over the weekend.
The club’s top-four hopes continue to slip away, while the Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid confirmed another trophy-less season for the Red Devils.
According to a report on Sunsport, a supporter group called ‘The 1958’ is rallying up fans to make their feelings on the Glazers known this weekend.
How the protest will work is simple – the fans will hold a march and once the game against Norwich kicks off, they will stand at Old Trafford for 17 minutes to mark the number of years the Glazers have owned the club.
The last time a similar protest was held was in April 2021, when fans came out to angrily protest the club’s involvement in plans to have a European Super League.
"Nothing will change until the head of the snake is removed. It's rotten and starts from the top down like any other business.” The fan group said in a statement.
"The club is a mess so we need to act and raise awareness again.
“Bring your colours, banners, flags and flares. We need you; we need each other, we need everyone to put aside their differences. Some things are worth fighting for…"
Meanwhile, Manchester United continue their search for a new manager, with current Ajax boss Erik Ten Haag remaining as one of the favourites to take over from Ralf Rangnick.
