Manchester United fans protest ownership again as tensions rise
Summary

Manchester United fans continued their protests against club ownership on September 14. Demonstrations erupted outside the stadium, prompted by ongoing dissatisfaction over financial management and the involvement of the Glazer family. Recent reports detail the club's debt, now at £1.3 billion, despite promises of change from new stakeholder Jim Ratcliffe. Fans expressed anger over the handling of a ticket-touting investigation, which resulted in numerous account bans and sanctions. The club's financial situation is expected to be further clarified on September 23 when they release their full-year accounts through June 2026.

What they're saying
"

To be clear, Manchester United's fans have - to a greater or lesser degree - protested against the owners since the Glazer family landed £600m-worth of debt on to a previously debt-free club with their leveraged buy-out in 2005. In their most recent accounts to 31 March, United had an overall debt of £1.3bn, including outstanding transfer fees. Ratcliffe's involvement promised to change the situation.
