Manchester United were forced to close their official megastore at Old Trafford on Tuesday morning due to anti-Glazer fan protests.
The scenes came a little over an hour after the Red Devils released their new home kit for the 2023-24 season. Supporters are furious after seven frustrating months of waiting for the Glazer family to finally sell the club, with the Americans having put United on the market in November yet failed to communicate with fans since.
Angry supporters brought pyrotechnics to Old Trafford, forcing staff to hurriedly close the doors to the club shop while police watched on. It later reopened to continue selling merchandise. United had been expecting a congregation of fans after the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) released a statement confirming plans for a protest.
