As the 2023/24 season kicks-off, Manchester United are still out of the loop when it comes to the sale of the club.
It has been 265 days since the Glazer family put the football club up for sale, but that process appears to have stalled.
Fan group The 1958 has organised a protest on the Old Trafford forecourt before tonight’s game against Wolves. Stretty News has done its bit to promote that event to readers and we are sure many will join us later on at the Trinity statue.
Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST) back the protests.
A MUST spokesperson said: “As time goes on this feels less like a sale process and more like the Glazer family is holding Manchester United and its fans hostage. The united message of fans is clear – sell the club. And if they do not intend to do so, at least have the courage to say that and explain what the charade of the last nine months has been about.
“On the pitch, there is clear progress at United and the whole fan base is behind Erik and the team. But off it, the discontent about the ownership and the sale process has not gone away and will only escalate now the new season has arrived.”
The two main bidders for United include Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Another group of United fans will be on the forecourt protesting against Mason Greenwood’s potential return.
Make a stand. Glazers out.
