Manchester United supporter group 'the 1958' have announced there will be another protest against the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the home clash against Fulham - with over 6,000 set to take part.
This weekend, Michael Carrick's side travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Premier League leaders Arsenal. But in the following home match against the Cottagers, there will be a demonstration against the Glazers and minority shareholder Ratcliffe, who has been overseeing the football operations at the club.
The Glazers have been a target for United supporters since they took over the club in 2005, while there is also dissatisfaction with Ratcliffe since he bought 27.7% of the club as part of a £1.6billion deal. As frustration continues to reverberate around the fan base, the 1958 confirmed there will be further protests against the United figureheads.
A spokesperson for the 1958 said: "Jim Ratcliffe chose to get into bed with the Glazers and, in our opinion, is helping to keep them in charge. Twenty-one years of a debt mountain, mismanagement and financial greed is 21 years too long. Enough is enough.”
They also added: "We will not be complicit. Jim Ratcliffe, you have chosen your side, and it is not ours. You now stand shoulder to shoulder with the Glazers. You are no saviour.
"For many, you come across as a clown, fumbling from one disaster to another, hopelessly out of your depth at one of the world’s greatest football institutions, adored by millions. We were promised best in class, but for us the club is a laughing stock resembling a circus, and that includes the new stadium design.”
Further explaining the decision to protest, they also said: "Earlier this season, we asked supporters if they wanted to protest. Many chose to give Ratcliffe time.
Fans of Manchester United display a flag that reads 'We Want Our Club Back' in protest prior to the Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on January 11, 2026 in Manchester, England.

"That time has been squandered. The situation is undeniably worse. We beat City, but one swallow does not make a summer. This is not about Carrick and results. It is about our ownership.
"We have been down this path of false hope too many times. History shows what happens at our club with the dysfunctional ownership model we have. They are like a boomerang, and we cannot move on until they are gone.”
It's also been claimed by the group that they are expecting "well over the estimated 5,000-6,000 who marched peacefully against Arsenal last May” and "the biggest ever protest against Manchester United’s owners, for the first time also officially directed at Sir Jim Ratcliffe”.
United's recent victory over City saw the Reds move into fifth position, which could be enough to see them qualify for the Champions League, depending on the performances of English clubs in European competition this season. In March last year, Ratcliffe backed Ruben Amorim, only to sack him at the start of 2026.
The club are looking for a third permanent manager after already sacking Ten Hag and the Portuguese boss. Carrick has started well, but his time in the dugout is only expected to be until the end of the campaign.
