I’m at Old Trafford this evening to report on the protest against the Glazers #mufc

You can follow coverage in this thread 🧵
This is @The__1958’s plan for today’s protest. “We appreciate emotions are high, but we must keep it legal, we must keep it peaceful,” their statement reads #mufc
Why are supporters so angry? Educate yourself with this brilliant thread:
Have arrived at the Tollgate. Good crowd here, despite needing a match ticket to get in #mufc
Plenty of green and gold. Few 22/23 replica shirts but they’re the minority #mufc

*That* sinister Joel Glazer chant heard for the first time this evening #mufc
Joe explains to me why he’s protesting today. Many fans will share his views #mufc
“You Scouse bastard,” directed at a member of security, who removes a flare #mufc
Tollgate is very busy now and there’s supporters outside the pub, ready to march to Old Trafford #mufc
Jamie, who has a season ticket in the Stretford End, wants the #GlazersOut
“We want the Glazers out.” #mufc
The fence was nearly pushed down but security did a very good job. Strong crowd now, with the march to Old Trafford just 20 minutes away. It’s a brilliant atmosphere #mufc
That gives an idea of the crowd here…
*That* anti-Glazer chant aired again #mufc
Ready to march to Old Trafford #mufc
Here we go…
We’re under way. The crowd is huge and goes way back - fantastic turnout #mufc
“UNITED FOR SALE,” the banner reads with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s face etched across #mufc
Turning the corner now with Old Trafford in sight. It’s some crowd #mufc
We’ve arrived at Old Trafford. The game starts in 30 minutes #mufc
It took 15 minutes for that tweet to send. I’ll add a few more videos but the crowd has thinned out now after going through the Munich Tunnel #mufc
#GlazersOut
It threatened to turn ugly with fans around the away end, but the heavy police presence prevented any trouble #mufc
Through the Munich Tunnel. Shutters down to protect the media entrance #mufc
Asked Ian Wright, who was waiting to enter Old Trafford, for comment on the protest but he declined - fair enough #mufc
Thanks for following our coverage at @ManUtdMEN this evening #mufc
On my way back around and there’s still a healthy number of supporters outside at Old Trafford. Police marshalling the crowd #mufc
