Manchester United, FC United Plan Joint Anti-Glazers Protest

This weekend, Manchester United supporters, led by the protest group The 1958, will unite with FC United of Manchester for 'United United Day' to demonstrate against the Glazer family's ownership, which has persisted for 20 years. The event, taking place at FC United's Broadhurst Park, aims to repair the fractured fanbase and will feature a series of activities including a Q&A session and a show of solidarity with banners and flags. The Glazers have faced criticism for their financial management of Manchester United, which has left the club in significant debt and led to dissatisfaction among fans. FC United was formed in 2005 as a response to the Glazers' takeover, emphasizing a fan-owned model and affordable football. Both groups stress the importance of responsible ownership and call for unity among supporters to effect change. The protest marks a pivotal moment as it represents the first formal collaboration between these two groups since FC United's inception.
