RIO FERDINAND is expecting further fan protests and believes the tribal divisions between supporters are being set aside in a common cause – to force club owners to listen.
His old club Manchester United’s match against Liverpool was postponed on Sunday after a peaceful planned protest escalated into violence and an invasion of the Old Trafford pitch.
Ferdinand did not condone the violence which left police officers injured, but understood where the discontent has come from, and why it is likely such protests will be repeated.
“I’m with the fans,” he told Vibe with Five.
“We don’t want violence and I’m not condoning violence or any type of lawbreaking at all, but these fans have been shunted aside (and told) ‘you’re not a thought, you’re not a consideration’.
