Manchester United: Fans protest against Glazer ownership at Old Trafford

Manchester United fans opposed to the continued Glazer ownership of the club held a protest at their side's home game against Aston Villa.

About 1,000 United supporters gathered in Manchester city centre before marching to Old Trafford.

Fan group The 1958 also asked fans to wait outside for the first 18 minutes of the match, in reference to 18 years of Glazer ownership.

"We've been protesting since 2005 and we've had enough," one fan said.

While some seats remained empty, the majority of fans were in the stadium for kick-off.

The march appeared to pass peacefully, with protesters carrying banners and singing anti-Glazer songs, some doing so outside the directors' entrance as the game got under way.
