Overview

• The 1958 supporter group has announced a protest before Manchester United's final home game of the season against Aston Villa on May 25, marking 20 years since the Glazer family's controversial takeover.
• Fans have long criticized the Glazers for saddling the club with over £1 billion in debt while collecting dividends and neglecting investment in Old Trafford's infrastructure.
• The protest follows a challenging season and builds on prior demonstrations, including a sit-in after the April Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
• The 1958's statement emphasizes the perceived financial exploitation and cultural alienation under the Glazers' ownership, declaring they 'will never be welcome' at the club.
• Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has expressed concern over escalating fan hostility, warning he may reconsider his involvement if protests persist.
