A large number of Fans of Manchester United will be attracted in black for their home conflict against Arsenal.
The clothing of the United supporters will look strongly like the mood in the club while versions on the field and fired off-field keep bringing a dark cloud over Old Trafford. Although Sir Jim Ratcliffe took over football activities by buying 29 percent of the club in a takeover of minorities worth £ 1.25 billion, United fans are still furious with the current majority of stakeholders the Glazer family.
Prior to the collision against the Gunners, United Supporter Group confirmed 'The 1958' that they will still organize a protest against the Glazer family. Starting in the Tollgate Pub near the stadium at 3.15 pm, United fans will march to the Trinity Monument and then continue to the Tunch funnel of Old Trafford.
Those participating in the protest are encouraged to wear black colors to send a message to the ownership group. Steve Crompton, a spokesperson for 1958, explained the protests in a statement: “The club is slowly dying before our eyes, up and next to the field and the fault is square in the current ownership model. The club is confronted with financial armageddon. Debt is the way to Ruins.
“Sir Matt Busby would turn his grave in the current plight of one of the world's largest football institutions, which is brought to his knees and becomes a joke in many ways.
“The club is declining, and it will probably get worse. We urge fans to get up, unite and join us on Sunday at 3 p.m. while we march and protest against the avoids and the deliberate attack of the club on fanculture.”
Before the competition, United manager Ruben Amorim was insisted on his opinion about the protests. During his press conference he said: “For everyone in our club it is a very difficult moment. It's all at the same time. All I can do, and our players, is good performance and winning. People have the right to protest. I think it's a good thing to do that. It is part of our club. Everyone has a voice.
“But our job and my task is only to improve the team and to give them something right now because they deserve it and they are great.”
United has passed a miserable season, which they currently occupy 15th position, 37 points behind Premier League leaders and fierce Rivals Liverpool. They were also beaten at home from the FA Cup by Fulham. United is still in the Europa League, the only route of the club to qualify for the Champions League of next season.
