Man Utd boss Ralf Rangnick 'understands' fan disappointment after anti-Glazer protest at training ground

  /  autty

Ralf Rangnick has admitted that he can understand why Manchester United fans are so "disappointed" after a group of them carried out a protest against the Glazer family at the club's training ground on Friday.

A group of supporters unfurled a banner against the Glazers, who have owned the club since 2005, at United's Carrington training base ahead of Rangnick's press conference.

The protest is one of many against the American family since they arrived at Old Trafford, and comes with United struggling to earn a place in next season's Champions League, with a six-point gap between them and fourth-placed Tottenham and only seven matches remaining.

Speaking ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture against bottom-club Norwich at Old Trafford, Rangnick said: "We all know that football is a game of passion and emotions.

"I think we can all understand, and I can understand, that our supporters are disappointed, both about where we stand in the table but also about performances.

"But I still believe that our supporters are one of the best, if not the best, in England, and as long as they do that protest in a peaceful way and as long as they still support the team in the stadium, I think they have the right to express their opinion.

"As I said, emotionally, I can understand why they are disappointed."
