Carrick Says Fan Protest Won't Distract Manchester United Before Fulham

The 1958 group plans a pre-match march protesting the club's ownership.

Overview

  • Carrick says he and his players are not offended by the demonstration and insists it will not affect their preparation or performance.
  • Organisers say between 5,000 and 6,000 supporters will march an hour before kick-off from both sides of Old Trafford to the 'Law, Best, Charlton' statue.
  • The 1958 group describes the action as a response to a "dysfunctional ownership model," targeting the Glazer family and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe rather than recent results.
  • United face Fulham after wins over Manchester City and Arsenal that have given Carrick a perfect start and renewed the connection between players and fans.
  • United moved into the Premier League top four following the Arsenal victory, according to recent reports.
