Man Utd fans planning #GlazersOut protest march before Liverpool clash with club wallowing in 12th place
MANCHESTER UNITED supporters are planning a march to Old Trafford on Sunday in protest against the Glazers.
Unhappy fans are targeting the crucial clash with Liverpool as a fresh opportunity to voice their discontent of how the club is being run.
It is claimed the American Glazer family who own the Red Devils have taken hundreds of millions of pounds out of the club since acquiring it in 2005.
And the disillusionment among the fans has been crystallised by their recent poor form.
In great contrast to rivals Liverpool, United are languishing in 12th place in the Premier League table with little sign of improvement under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
As a result, a number of #GlazersOut protesters are planning a march over social media before Sunday's game.
The plan is to show their ire on the way to Old Trafford, by the way of "anti-Glazer/LUHG (Love United Hate Glazer) chants" with fans "encouraged to bring green and yellow flares, flags and scarves".
DISAGREEMENT
But others unhappy with the Glazer regime believe the owners will only listen if season ticket holders take the plunge and boycott matches.
One Twitter user, Brian, posted: "So you're going to walk to the ground and then go to the match? Not much of a protest at all, if you missed the first-half or something that would be something but just walking to the match is stupid."
Another, James, added: "The best form of protest is to stop handing hard earned money over to the Glazers in the first instance. Stop going to games and hit them where it hurts most! Bums on seats = cash in the bank for them!"
The protest comes after Sun Sport revealed Kevin Glazer's plans to cash out his stake in United.
This is potentially a move to test the water of the market's interest in the club but cannot be regarded as a sure sign that all five siblings who own the team are all set to depart.
It would take a huge offer to prise the club from the Glazers' hands and, even amid reported Saudi interest in bidding £3.8billion last year, new buyers are thin on the ground.
