Manchester United fans made their voices heard loud and clear on Saturday afternoon following the team's 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest. Thousands of supporters remained in their seats after the fulltime whistle had been blown, each one proudly displaying their dissatisfaction with the Glazer family's ownership of the club.
The protest was initiated by the 1958 Group, who had previously called for supporters to stay behind after the match and voice their opinions. As expected, chants of "We want Glazers out" rang out across Old Trafford, as the players left the pitch and the stadium staff began their post-match duties. This protest was a sign of the fans' frustration with the length of the takeover talks by the Glazers - despite reports of a £6 billion bid being accepted - and it's clear that the supporters aren't convinced that the sale will actually happen.
The protest was also documented on Twitter, with James Ducker uploading a video of the chants. The caption read "Not the usual backdrop for those mowing the grass post match #MUFC. 'We're going on the pitch' chant United fans. Half an hour in."
It's not just Manchester United who are making headlines, however. Jamie Carragher recently blasted a Chelsea star for their "awful" mistake during the Luton clash, and there was also an indirect dig at Graham Potter from Raheem Sterling after the team's victory. Chelsea have also changed their plans in regards to Romelu Lukaku, after the striker reportedly chose a new preferred club.
To cap it off, the entire coaching staff of Spain's Women's team resigned amid Luis Rubiales' scandal - although the manager has stayed on. It's looking like a busy week in the world of football!
