Man United Fans Protest against Glazers

Manchester United supporters expressed their discontent towards the club's US owners, the Glazer family, during the Premier League opener against Fulham on Friday. With co-chairman Avram Glazer present in the directors' box, chants of "we want Glazers out" resonated from the Stretford End, particularly in the 19th minute, symbolizing the 19 years of the Glazers' ownership since they acquired a majority stake in 2005. The Glazer family's ownership has been a contentious issue among fans, who have criticized the family for imposing significant debt on the club and for their overall management approach. The family, led by Malcom Glazer until his death, consists of six siblings—Avram, Bryan, Darcie, Edward, Joel, and Kevin—who inherited their father's controlling stake. Since Malcom's passing, Joel and Avram have taken charge of the club's daily operations as co-chairmen, while the other siblings serve as directors. Protests against the Glazers have intensified in recent years, particularly as the team's performance on the pitch has declined. Fans have increasingly voiced their frustrations, calling for a change in ownership amid concerns over the club's financial health and competitive standing in the league. As the new season begins, the ongoing unrest among supporters highlights the deep-seated issues surrounding the Glazers' management and the growing demand for accountability and change within Manchester United.
