United fans mount Glazer protest at reserve match

October 20, 2006

Scores of Manchester United fans launched a vocal protest against owner Malcolm Glazer at last night's reserve-team clash with Wigan.

Although police were called by stewards, the protest continued peacefully, with supporters unfurling banners declaring their opposition to Glazer, who completed a controversial £790million buy-out of the Old Trafford outfit last summer.

The merits of Glazer's ownership has become a topic for debate again this week, with one fans' group calling for outgoing directors Nick Humby and Andy Anson to `come clean' over life at United under the American family's stewardship.

In response, a spokesman for the Glazers' has claimed the Red Devils are a more attractive proposition than they have ever been, describing attacks over the debt levels incurred in completing the takeover as a 'red herring'.
