Furious Manchester United fans are set to stage their biggest protest yet against the Glazer family, with a demonstration planned outside the Old Trafford megastore on Tuesday, June 26. The protest coincides with the general sale of the club’s new home kit, expected to be one of the busiest days of the year at the shop.
The influential fan group the 1958 has spearheaded several protests against the American owners, who have been in charge since 2005. Despite on-pitch improvement under manager Erik ten Hag last season, supporters remain incensed by the club’s decline since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, with no Premier League title won in the decade since.
The Glazers’ controversial ownership has been a source of ongoing tension, with a potential Qatari takeover rumbling in the background. The 1958 group aims to keep up the pressure by organising the demonstration at the stadium’s store, urging fans to voice their discontent.
