Manchester United supporter group The 1958 have not changed their stance on the club's owners.

News this week has emerged that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will buy a 25 percent stake in the club.

The INEOS billionaire will be joining the Glazers on the club's board, not replacing them.

While United fans are cautiously optimistic, there are still concerns about long-term Glazer involvement in the club.

The 1958's statement read: "As we have said before 'FULL SALE ONLY' is what we stand for. The full removal of the Glazers 69% shareholding. We will continue to protest until this vile family are removed from every fabric of our football club.

"We are not interested in new share issues. We are only interested in the removal of Glazer. The disease that has crippled our club for 18 years. As we have seen today. The offer of dialogue has been refused by the main groups of the Fans Forum and Fans Advisory Board.

"We will continue to call for a full boycott of the Fans Forum and the Fans Advisory Board. If you have not been elected by the fans, you do not represent the fans. Handpicked and complicit with the club and ownership. No doubt led with best intentions, but in reality, they continue to facilitate deception.

"Every decision the club make they refer to the FF and FAB to legitimise their actions. THIS HAS TO STOP! It's time to show real Unity, boycott the meetings and stand with the wider fan base. #GlazersOut every last share!

"Nothing in life has ever been achieved by doing nothing and walking away. Persistence will overcome resistance."
