Man United fans demand new owners in latest protest against the Glazers and Jim Ratcliffe

  • Manchester United supporters staged a fresh demonstration against the club's owners, the Glazer family and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, ahead of their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
  • Demonstrators in the Stretford End released green and gold balloons and displayed a banner reading "We don't want a new stadium, we want the owners out", protesting against money being spent on land acquisitions rather than squad investment.
  • A proposed fan walkout scheduled for the 21st minute to mark 21 years since the Glazer family's leveraged buyout ultimately failed to materialise.
  • The protests came as Michael Carrick's side sat 19th in the Premier League table heading into Sunday’s game, with United then making a nightmare start by conceding two goals to Aston Villa inside the first four minutes.
  • United fought back to make it 2-2 before Villa re-established a two-goal lead, only for Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu to score in second-half injury time as the game finished 4-4.
