But club security officials and police fear that a hardline fan base wants to create a large-scale riot around the club before the season is over. On Friday, a small group of fans calling themselves “The 1958” staged a protest against the owners of the club in Florida and the low-performing players at the United training camp in Carrington ahead of Saturday’s game against Norwich. While the demonstration was peaceful and on a small scale, information gathered by the Greater Manchester police revealed the intention to create more unrest in the last weeks of the season. Hundreds of United fans stormed Old Trafford last May, forcing a high-profile clash at the end of the season with Liverpool to be postponed.

However, a senior United source has claimed that the Glazers, who also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have no plans to sell the club despite widespread opposition to their long-distance ownership. A source said: “The family has never wavered in its commitment to retain ownership of United and as far as the club knows, nothing has changed. “They have seen this kind of protest in the past and while they would prefer a better relationship with the whole United public, they will not be driven out by this kind of opposition.” This attitude seems to be supported by multimillion-dollar plans for the redevelopment of Old Trafford and the training ground, both of which have been left behind by rival teams in recent seasons. read more The first “official” victim of Manchester United under Eric Ten Hague for the start of the summer escape read more Ajax governor breaks ranks and clarifies his stance on Eric ten Hague at Manchester United
