Fans warn of surprise arrest

MANCHESTER (Dagbladet): An angry Manchester United supporter at the Glazer owner’s family plots a shock move against the club.

Yesterday with hashtags #EmptyOldTrafford dead on Twitter. 55,000 messages related to the boycott initiative were posted.

– Needs a major cleaning from the inside. Enthusiasm was lost because of the Glazers, United supporter Robert Lockeridge told Dagbladet.

United started the season badly with a 2-1 loss to Brighton. The team took the problems from last year to the new season. New manager Erik ten Hag is a confusing sight on the sidelines.

The owner of Avram Glazer sits in the stands. Behind him was a man with plugs in his ears – just in case the aggression of the fans should overpower him. There were protests both before, during and after the game.

And now there may be more to come.

– Last season, United’s game against Liverpool was postponed as hundreds of supporters broke into Old Trafford with banners and slogans against the Glazers. Now calls for supporters not to come to the game against their fierce rivals have intensified in the week from Monday.

The fans believe that the owners owe the club a debt and don’t run it the way a football club should. The account must show a debt of NOK six billion. His dream is to achieve the same that happened at the San Siro in Milan in 2015.

At that time, AC Milan played against Cagliari with the stands almost empty. The fans at the Curva Sud are mobilized. The reason is the way the club is managed.

Similar actions were carried out in connection with the last match against Valencia in May. The target was the club’s owner, Peter Lim. Instead of being inside the stadium, the fans were standing outside.

In the past, coming to Old Trafford was a miracle for everyone. There’s now talk that there’s nothing more special about getting there than Queens Park Rangers’ home ground, Loftus Road. The majesty and mystique are lost.

– Since Sir Alex Ferguson left, everything has failed, said supporter Robert Lockeridge, whom Dagbladet met outside Old Trafford.

– The best players will no longer join us. We didn’t play in the Champions League and it wasn’t interesting enough. United has always been a support club. Now it’s just about money.

He continued:

– Former United player Paul Scholes is a friend of mine. When Ferguson offered him a new contract of 20,000 pounds a week (230,000 kroner), he didn’t care. The most important thing is to play for United.

– What do you think of the new manager, Erik ten Hag?

– I trust him. The problem is getting the right players.

– What about Ole Gunnar Solskjær?

– I miss her. He was United through and through. He did what he could, but to no avail.

It is no coincidence that action has been announced in relation to the Liverpool match. It has the eyes of the whole world on it and will hit extra hard.

– Damn house! Owners have to pack up, said Mark Yates, another supporter Dagbladet met.

With Old Trafford looming in the background, he is supported by his girlfriend Katie Robinson:

“When you compare the club to today and a few years ago, it’s a bitter pill to swallow,” he said.

Former United director Michael Knighton insists he wants to make a bid for the club.

On Saturday, United play Brentford away.
