Overview
- The 1958 will stage a protest before the Fulham match at Old Trafford on 1 February after calling a vote of no confidence in the ownership, CEO Omar Berrarda and director of football Jason Wilcox.
- Ruben Amorim was sacked earlier this week, with Darren Fletcher in interim charge after a 2-2 draw at Burnley and due to lead the FA Cup tie against Brighton on 11 January.
- United are searching for a caretaker manager to the end of the season, with sources saying substantive talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Michael Carrick have not taken place and a swift appointment before the 17 January derby is viewed as unlikely.
- Fan discontent has been visible, including a “Jim can’t fix this” banner at Turf Moor and hostile chants directed at co-chairman Joel Glazer.
- The 1958 alleges a heated exchange with Jason Wilcox and an endorsement by Omar Berrarda influenced Amorim’s exit, a claim not independently verified, as critics also cite redundancies and ticket price rises despite Ratcliffe’s £250m investment and Carrington renovation.
