Man United Call The Police As Furious Fans Arrive At Their Training Ground by naijaclass(m): 8:42pm On Apr 15, 2022
Dozens of Manchester United fans have descended on the club's Carrington training ground to protest against the Glazer family's ownership.
Banners reading 'Glazers out' and 'Disgrace - Not fit to wear the shirt' were held up outside the gates to the complex, with United beefing up security in anticipation and calling in police.

The demonstration on Friday lunchtime appears to be a precursor to a larger anti-Glazer protest planned for Old Trafford ahead of the Premier League match with Norwich City on Saturday.

Police dog handlers were dispatched to Carrington and the protest was dispersed.

Following another seriously underwhelming season on the pitch, which means five years without a trophy for United, fans are planning a fresh attempt to force out the club's unpopular American owners.

An abusive sign was left outside Carrington for United's players in the wake of last Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Everton, which left them a lowly seventh in the Premier League, some six points off the top four.

It read: 'Embarrassing s**tbags. Not fit to wear the shirt get out of our club!'

A supporter group called The 1958 have organised a protest march against the Glazers that will end at Old Trafford before kick-off against Norwich.
They are calling on demonstrators to remain outside the ground for the first 17 minutes of the match to mark the Glazer family's 17-year ownership.

Plans have been posted on social media and retweeted several thousand times with a message declaring: 'Nothing will change unless the head of the snake is removed. It's rotten and starts from the top down like any business. The club's a mess so we need to act and raise awareness again.'

It's a year ago this month since United's role in the doomed European Super League sparked an angry backlash against the Glazers.
A small number of fans stormed Carrington and many more then broke into Old Trafford following a mass protest before a behind-closed-doors game against Liverpool, forcing the fixture to be postponed.

Chairman Joel Glazer subsequently apologised over the ESL fiasco and has since tried to engage with the fanbase.

He has appeared at fans' forums, and a supporters' advisory board has been set up. A fan share scheme is still being discussed, but the latest protests suggest that the bridge building has not been entirely successful.
'This isn't another Liverpool,' the statement from The 1958 continued. 'We believe this was a one-off unique event.

'This is the start of the constant, relentless, peaceful and legal protests and actions against our owners.

'We know the challenges ahead of us and we will not waver or detract from these goals.'
