THOUSANDS of Manchester United fans protested against the club’s ownership ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Arsenal at Old Trafford.

The Glazer family were subject to the majority of many angry chants, but plenty were also directed at co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, throughout a march that started a mile away from the ground at the Tollgate pub.

The 1958 fan group organised the protest and many supporters heeded their request to wear black to symbolise how the club is “slowly dying” under the current structure.
