Manchester United fans protesting the Glazers block entrance to training ground By 15 Comments Manchester United fans protesting against the Glazer family’s ownership of their club blocked entrances to the club’s Carrington training ground on Thursday morning. A series of protestors with flags also accessed the first-team training pitch, ahead of United’s training session today. In a statement, United said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke to the group and they eventually left the site. The Athletic understands that Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher and Nemanja Matic also spoke to the protestors ahead of their departure. The protests come after United’s involvement in the controversial Super League plans earlier this week. The club withdrew from the project on Tuesday due to widespread backlash and on Wednesday, Joel Glazer sent an open letter to United fans apologising for failing “to show enough respect” for football’s traditions.
