Manchester United supporters group The 1958 announced plans for a protest at Old Trafford on Aug. 17 for the team’s Premier League opener against Arsenal. The group plans to stand in opposition to owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family.
Ratcliffe, who took over day-to-day operations of the club in Feb. 2024, was named in a statement by the group as “a man once seen by many, including ourselves, as a possible saviour, a beacon of hope but now revealed as complicit in the ongoing erosion of everything that makes our club what it is.”
