Manchester United Meets with Fan Group 1958

Manchester United officials, including COO Collette Roche and director of fan engagement Rick McGagh, held an 80-minute meeting with members of The 1958, a fan protest group known for organizing demonstrations against the Glazer family's ownership. This marked the first engagement between the club and The 1958, facilitated by CEO Omar Berrada, amid efforts to improve fan relations under the new Ineos-led management. The 1958 announced plans to establish a new fan representation division called FC58, emphasizing their independence and commitment to enhancing fan engagement. The discussions included concerns about the current fan engagement process and potential improvements. United has previously engaged with other fan groups but had not met with The 1958 until now, reflecting a shift towards more open communication. This meeting is seen as a positive step forward in fostering dialogue between the club and its supporters.
