It is restless at Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, two hours before the start of the match against Liverpool. Furious supporters entered the stadium and lit fireworks, as can be seen on images circulating on social media. The fans of United want a farewell to the Glazer family, the American owners of the club, very soon. Last week, angry supporters also entered the Carrington training complex out of dissatisfaction with participation in the Super League, which was later seen from.
The footage shows supporters entering the field at Old Trafford and addressing the owners. Fireworks are also set off. A large part of the disaffected crowd already gathered in the morning around the Lowry Hotel, the place from where the players’ bus was to leave for the stadium for the match against Liverpool. Later, the crowd moved to the stadium, where they allowed access to the field and set off fireworks. Meanwhile, the Glazer family’s departure is demanded as owner of the club.

It is not the first time that there is restlessness around the club. A week ago, supporters expressed dissatisfaction with Manchester’s participation in the Supre League. Glazer then wrote an open letter to the supporters of the superpower in which he apologized for the whole course of events surrounding United’s involvement in the plans of the European top competition. However, the statement cannot take away the anger from the supporters.
