Man Utd fans plan Ratcliffe protest vs Arsenal
Briefly

The 1958 supporters' group is organizing a protest against the Glazers and Jim Ratcliffe before Manchester United's match against Arsenal on August 17. This marks a continuation of their efforts against the Glazers, who have faced criticism for their ownership and debt issues over the past twenty years. Ratcliffe, who owns a significant stake in the club, has implemented unpopular changes since February 2024. The protests aim to raise awareness about the erosion of the club's identity and community values, emphasizing the need for genuine change and urging support for every fan affected by rising costs and neglect.
It's a new season but the same old ownership issues. Twenty years of the Glazers and their debt mountain is 20 years too long. Enough is enough.
We won't allow some natural optimism and a couple of shiny new signings to deflect from the bigger off-field picture.
This is no longer just about ownership; this is about survival -- the survival of our identity, our community, and our values.
Jim Ratcliffe, you have chosen your side and it is not ours. You now stand shoulder to shoulder with the Glazers.
