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'.
