Manchester United fans are leaving very little to the imagination as protests against the club’s ownership and the prospective sale of the club continue on Sunday afternoon.
Amid reports suggesting that the Glazer family, who have held a majority shareholding in the club since 2005, may stay on as part of an agreement if Sir Jim Ratcliffe is successful with his bid to acquire the club, supporters made their feelings clear on the prospect of that happening.
The banner revealed earlier on Sunday is now are the forefront of protests outside at Old Trafford and now, videos published by The Athletic journalist Dan Sheldon show supporters marching towards the Theatre of Dreams.

SN’s verdict…
It’s the latest chapter of a long series of protests against the club’s ownership and thankfully, it does look like we are edging closer to a conclusion to this protracted sales process.
It is, however, worrying that the idea of the Glazer family staying on at the club is being entertained by prospective buyers and that is something that needs to be publicly addressed.
The deadline for the third round of bidding ended earlier this week and it is believed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim will both be contacted with the results of the proceedings within 7-10 days.
For God sake repent the Glazer’s and sale in full and go home!!!
