Man Utd fans urged to boycott Old Trafford bars in protest
Supporter groups call for a pre-match booze boycott and balloons against the Glazers and Ratcliffe before the Aston Villa game this Sunday.
Manchester United supporters have been asked not to spend money inside Old Trafford this Sunday, when the club host Aston Villa in the Premier League. The protest is aimed at the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The team of Michael Carrick is in a critical position: 17th in the table, outside the relegation zone on goal difference, and on their worst league start since 1986, with just one win from nine matches. The midweek comeback against Roma ended a nine-game winless run, but pressure on the manager remains huge. According to the Mirror, club chiefs Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox have considered replacements, including Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte.
The campaign asks fans not to buy drinks inside the stadium and to release balloons when the players come out to warm up. The match kicks off at 4.30pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports. A defeat could mean the end of Carrick's time as manager during the international break.
