A number of protesters wore clown masks as fans marched towards Old Trafford to express anger with the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe for running Manchester United in a manner the 1958 fan group likened to a circus.

The Glazers have faced fan fury ever since taking a controlling stake of the Red Devils in controversial fashion in 2005, with the supporters’ group leading a variety of protests against the Americans in recent years.
