Man Utd Fans Protest Against Glazer Family Ownership Before Norwich Match

Hundreds of Manchester United fans joined a protest march against the Glazer family’s ownership of the Old Trafford club on Saturday.

The march, which appeared to be completed peacefully, took place before United’s 3-2 home win against Norwich

Organisers also wanted fans to stay outside the ground for the first 17 minutes to protest at the 17 year ownership of the Glazers.

And at kick-off there were many empty seats in the ground.

“We respect the right of fans to voice their opinions peacefully and we will continue to listen to them, with the aim of working together to get the club back to where we all want it to be: competing for trophies,” a Manchester United spokesperson said.

Around two dozen fans gathered outside Carrington to protest against the Glazers on Friday.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick said fans had a “right to express their opinion”, and that he understood their “disappointment” with the club’s seventh-place position.

United had won only three of their past 12 matches in all competitions before playing Norwich – losing 1-0 at Everton last Saturday – and are guaranteed to fall short of last season’s final tally of 74 points.https:
