Manchester United fans are planning an anti-Glazer protest before Saturday’s game at home to Norwich in a new attempt to force out the American owners.
As unrest grows over a desperately disappointing season, it has emerged that an abusive sign was also left for United’s players outside the club’s Carrington training base over the weekend after defeat to Everton left them six points adrift of the top-four.
It read: ‘Embarrassing s**tbags. Not fit to wear the shirt get out of our club!’
A supporter group called The 1958 have organised a protest march against the Glazers that will end at Old Trafford before kick-off against Norwich.
They are calling on demonstrators to remain outside the ground for the first 17 minutes of the match to mark the Glazer family’s 17-year ownership.
Plans have been posted on social media and retweeted several thousand times with a message declaring: ‘Nothing will change unless the head of the snake is removed. It’s rotten and starts from the top down like any business. The club’s a mess so we need to act and raise awareness again.’
It’s a year ago this month since United’s role in the doomed European Super League sparked an angry backlash against the Glazers.
A small number of fans stormed Carrington and many more then broke into Old Trafford following a mass protest before a behind-closed-doors game against Liverpool, forcing the fixture to be postponed.
Chairman Joel Glazer subsequently apologised over the ESL fiasco and has since tried to engage with the fanbase.
He has appeared at fans’ forums, and a supporters’ advisory board has been set up. A fan share scheme is still being discussed, but the latest protests suggest that the bridge building has not been entirely successful.
‘This isn’t another Liverpool,’ the statement from The 1958 continued. ‘We believe this was a one-off unique event.
‘This is the start of the constant, relentless, peaceful and legal protests and actions against our owners.
‘We know the challenges ahead of us and we will not waver or detract from these goals.’
Meanwhile, Ajax boss Erik ten Hag wants to focus on Sunday’s Dutch Cup final against PSV Eindhoven before deciding on his future after speaking to United and RB Leipzig.
Ten Hag threatened to walk out of an interview after Saturday’s win over Sparta Rotterdam when asked about the United job.

They provide funds for transfers tho… that’s the only positive on the glazers side. As owners, I don’t know what else they are suppose to provide… not a topic I know much about

you can't understand the buy players for business not football like selling of goods
so u telling me all the millions they spend is to gain back millions?? only commercial deal I seen in players was Ronaldo because that was a straight business move the rest of players don't bring in any revenue like that with shirt sales & so on Maguire deal straight English tax like Grealish which every English team does so what u saying makes no sense u need to blame the coaches & the scouting for getting wrong players not the owners because for me Glazers been spending heavy

Gradual fall of Man U started during Sir Alex and buried by Woodward who was an economised. Protest is worth

This is a warning and sign to Chelsea. Don't sell to capitalist Brits or Americans. (I didn't say don't sell to Well meaning football minded Brits or Americans). Sell to buyers who are passionate about football and the club. Else, na second Man It's Chelsea go become in two seasons

Are they those playing the ball? They've provided the resources and have even over compensated the fans whenever they complain. They should vent their anger on the players too this time
