Man Utd supporters have held a new protest against the ownership of their football club.

Thousands of Manchester United supporters have taken part in a protest against the Glazer family, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the running of the football club ahead of the Premier League match against Arsenal.

The 1958 supporters group organised the latest protest and urged fans to wear black in an effort to symbolise how the club is 'slowly dying' under the current ownership. A spokesperson from The 1958 said: "The club is slowly dying before our eyes, on and off the pitch, and the blame lies squarely at the current ownership model. In many ways, this is the biggest crisis the club faced since the Munich air disaster which inspires our name."

United fans gathered at The Tollgate pub just over an hour before the 4:30pm kick-off before making their way to Old Trafford. It is estimated roughly 5,000 fans took part in the protest. Here are some of the most powerful pictures from the day.
