Anger as United fans fight dirty in Glazer takeover

MANCHESTER UNITED supporters around the world are rallying round to fight a possible takeover by Malcolm Glazer - but the club have been outraged by a vandalism attack on director Maurice Watkins.

United have condemned the late night attack at Watkins’ home in Heaton Moor during which his Jaguar, an Audi and his house were all daubed in red paint.

Greater Manchester Police are investigating the incident but there seems little doubt it was related to Watkins’ decision to sell a million club shares in April, which ended up being part of Glazer’s 19.1% stake in the Old Trafford club.
