Manchester United supporters’ group ‘The 1958’ have confirmed they will protest against the club's owners at next Monday's massive match with Liverpool.
The group confirmed the demonstration will take place outside Old Trafford with plans to march to the ground an hour before the 8pm kick-off. United have started the season disastrously, sitting bottom of the table after losing their opening two games. But supporters have long been disillusioned over the Glazers’ running of the Red Devils.
"Today we release our plans for the Liverpool game," a statement from The 1958 read. "A game that will have the eyes of the world watching. A game for United fans to come together and show the world our deep discontent for this vile ownership.

"An ownership that is systematically starving and killing the greatest football institution in world football, for greed. We can not allow this to happen any longer! This is not about division, this is about unity. All United fans have the right to protest with the 1958 or individually. It is not about confrontation. Anything else plays completely into the Glazers' hands.”
United fans protested at Old Trafford prior to another match against Liverpool, back in May 2021. It forced the game to be postponed after a small group of supporters broke into the ground and entered the pitch..
Liverpool’s last trip to their bitter rivals was equally infamous, albeit for different reasons. The rampant Reds ran out 5-0 winners with Mohamed Salah helping himself to a hat-trick.
It's got no better for the Reds Devils this season, despite the appointment of Erik ten Hag as manager, with Saturday's 4-0 humbling at Brentford coming on the back of a 2-1 home loss to Brighton on the opening day.
Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave United after they missed out on Champions League football last season and a slapdash approach to signings - they have been linked with Marko Arnautovic and Adrien Rabiot in recent weeks - has left fans furious at those in charge.
