A Manchester United supporters group is planning a protest against the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, claiming the club’s owners have turned United into a “laughing stock”. The planned action has been organised under the banner of The 1958, which has called for fans to make their feelings clear about the direction of the club.
The group says “enough is enough” and wants supporters to unite in opposition to both the Glazers and Ratcliffe, whose Ineos group has taken a key role in football operations since completing a minority investment in the club. The 1958 insists the current ownership model is failing and that United’s identity and standards are being damaged.
In a statement, the group urged supporters to get involved and highlighted long-running anger over how the club is being run. They argue that the problem is not limited to one party, pointing the finger at both the majority owners and the new leadership structure brought in under Ratcliffe.
The announcement comes with frustration among fans continuing to grow, with United still under heavy scrutiny on and off the pitch. The 1958 says the protest is about demanding change and holding the people in charge accountable, warning that supporters feel ignored while the club’s reputation suffers.
More details of the planned protest are expected to follow, with the group determined to keep the pressure on the Glazers and Ratcliffe as they push their message to the wider fanbase.
