United fans protest against potential Glazer takeover

HUNDREDS of Manchester United fans gathered at Old Trafford yesterday to protest against the potential takeover by American tycoon Malcolm Glazer.

More than 400 fans joined the protest after word was spread using the internet and mobile phones.

The fans were well behaved but sang songs which made death threats to Glazer.

The chants included: “He’s gonna die, Malcolm Glazer’s gonna die, how we’ll kill him I don’t know, cut him up from head to toe, all I know is Glazer’s gonna die.”

Police kept a low-key presence as fans marched around the stadium.

More than 100 fans ignored police requests to clear the road outside the stadium’s main entrance and carried out a sit-down protest.
