ANGRY Manchester United fans chartered a plane to fly a "Glazers Out" banner above Old Trafford today with owner Avram looking on.

It might be a new season that started with a 4-0 thumping of Chelsea, but the same resentment against the club's US owners remains with many fans.

And anger has grown after the club's lack of activity before transfer deadline day.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanted to completely rebuild his squad this summer following their shocking end to the 2018/19 season.

The Reds managed to sign centre-back Harry Maguire from Leicester in a world record deal for a defender, right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace and young winger Daniel James from Swansea.

Simultaneously they've sold Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, seen Ander Herrera join Paris Saint-Germain for free and let Antonio Valencia join LDU Quito and James Wilson go to Aberdeen.

FUMING WITH TRANSFER DEALINGS

SunSport reported how seething supporters have launched a scathing attack at the club's owners and vice-chairman Ed Woodward on social media.

A statement from a Twitter page called #GlazersOut Movement read: "Today, Manchester United fans barely sum up the strength to be surprised at yet another abysmal transfer window shepherded by Ed Woodward."

It continued: "Today, the window closed with one of the richest club's in desperate need of improvement spending a net £60million.

"It took Woodward a total of three months to negotiate two players, while other key areas are weakened. This is not a rebuild. This is a farce.

"Fans back the team and manager 100 per cent for what will be another difficult season, but we condemn the ongoing lies and deceit of the Glazers and the culture at the club that puts profits before ambition and success.

"It's clear to all that the Glazers do not have the club's interest at heart."

In response, one user said: "Sad to see a great club in continual decline. It's not just the Glazers in my opinion. Ed Woodward is doing an appalling job with the playing squad and wage bill."
