Manchester United fans set for anti-Glazer protest before Norwich game
Manchester United fans are set to protest against the Glazer's ownership at Old Trafford on Saturday.
A supporter group called The 1958 has organised the 'peaceful' protest to create 'awareness' prior to their upcoming clash against Norwich City.
In a tweet, The 1958 said: "The club's a mess so we need to act and raise awareness again." They also added that it would be the 'start of the constant, relentless, peaceful and legal protests' against the owners.
Fans have grown tired of the Glazer family after placing the club into huge debt. It hasn't helped that they remain without a Premier League title in 2013 and currently sit seventh in the league.
Last season, some United fans broke into the club's Carrington training base and many more then stormed into Old Trafford before a behind-closed-doors Premier League game against Liverpool last April. It forced the fixture to be postponed.
The backlash was based on United's decision to join the doomed European Super League which included Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.
"This isn't another Liverpool," The 1958 statement said in a statement. "We believe this was a one-off unique event.
"This is the start of the constant, relentless, peaceful and legal protests and actions against our owners.
"We know the challenges ahead of us and we will not waver or detract from these goals."

Man United are 23 points behind leaders Manchester City and will once again miss out on silverware.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick claims the Red Devils don't deserve a European spot based on their performances since he took charge.
"If we play like we did here we just don't deserve it," said Rangnick after their 1-0 defeat to Everton.
"The players themselves should be eager to play international football, if possible Champions League.
"In order to qualify for Europe you have to be able to score in 95 minutes in a game like this.
"With all respect to Everton - because they have a good team - but if you don't score against a team who conceded three goals against Burnley, you cannot expect to get anything out of it," added the 63-year-old German.
