Manchester United fans are ready to hold a visible and dramatic protest for their Champions League clash with AC Milan.
The Daily Mail says thousands of United fans are ready to boycott the opening 10 minutes of tomorrow's Champions League clash with AC Milan at Old Trafford in a mass anti-Glazer protest.
The planned demonstration could bring the 'green and gold' campaign led by Manchester United Supporters' Trust into conflict with manager Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time, after the United boss insisted he would accept any protest as long as it did not have a detrimental effect on his team.
So far, supporters have respected his wishes, but the plan for up to 10,000 fans to remain outside the ground at kick-off and burn effigies of the club's American owner Malcolm Glazer - while their team try to build on a 3-2 first-leg lead in a crucial European game - is in danger of crossing the line.
MUST chief executive Duncan Drasdo insisted last night that it was not an official protest being planned by his organisation, but said he would not try to stand in the way of fans if they wanted to go ahead with it.
"We're not co-ordinating anything but we're not against it either," said Drasdo. "People can make up their own minds over how to express themselves but we're not pushing it at the moment. We have other priorities.
"We're more interested in participation in the internet campaign. The green and gold is a better illustration of the campaign for change." |
