Manchester United fans organised another anti-Glazer protest on Thursday evening. Thousands of supporters marched with banners and pyro ahead of kick-off and Old Trafford was only a third full at the start of the game. That was only a matter of time.
Supporters eventually tricked through the turnstiles after the 17th minute - one minute for each year the club has been owned by the Glazer family - but the hostility towards the American owners remained palpable inside Old Trafford. There were renditions of 'stand up if you hate the Glazers' and 'love United, hate Glazers' throughout and fans hope the anger doesn't dissipate in the summer.
It will take a sustained effort to achieve a change of ownership or compromise from the Glazers. United fans have understandably never accepted the Glazers and that anger has been exacerbated by performances this season. Thursday's match against Chelsea was just a painful reminder of where United actually are. They were dominated by the third-best team in the Premier League.
