Supporters have travelled from up and down the country to show their discontent against the Glazer ownership.

The club even shut the megastore amid the protest as a precaution.

A large number of fans have gathered outside Old Trafford, with green and gold mixed with red. A far bigger turnout is expected next weekend, and this is just a taster of what may be to come…
