Erik ten Hag denied that a protest by fans demanding a “100% sale” of Manchester United was a distraction, after thousands marched to Old Trafford from the city centre before the 1-0 win against Aston Villa.
Some of those involved in the action held banners stating “Full Sale Only” and “Glazers Out”. This was because of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s intention to purchase just over 50% of United and being open to one or more of the Glazers, who own the club, retaining their stake.
