Manchester United supporters forced a delay to their team's Champions League fixture on Tuesday after staging a protest against the club's ownership at Old Trafford. The demonstration, which took place before kick-off, disrupted the scheduled start of the European match.
Fans gathered outside the stadium to voice their opposition to the Glazer family's ownership, continuing a long-running campaign that has intensified in recent seasons. The protest caused sufficient disruption to delay the game's commencement, though the match ultimately proceeded.
The action marks another chapter in the strained relationship between United's fanbase and the club's American owners, who have faced sustained criticism since their leveraged takeover in 2005. Previous protests have included pitch invasions and match postponements, most notably the Premier League fixture against Liverpool in May 2021.
