Around 500-600 fans protested rising ticket prices and unpopular ownership by the Glazer family and Jim Ratcliffe, calling to 'get our football club back,' organizers said.
- Ahead of the Fulham match, Manchester United fans protested outside Old Trafford, marching toward the stadium with chants, banners, and flares, on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026.
- Longstanding opposition to the Glazer family has grown since their 2005 takeover, with the 1958 citing ticket pricing and cost-cutting decisions as evidence of `dysfunctional, inept ownership`.
- Supporters used masks and flares during the march, with Greater Manchester Police reporting 500 to 600 protesters and no arrests, according to the 1958.
- Organisers stressed the protest targets INEOS and the Glazers, not players, but warned it affects matchday atmosphere.
- The 1958 accused owners of 'being dragged through chaos by clown ownership,' increasing pressure on the Glazer family and Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS partnership.
