On Saturday, Manchester United fans staged a protest against the Glazer family, who have been blamed by Alan Shearer for the Red Devils' recent troubles on the pitch. United have had a poor start to the season, currently sitting in 10th place after 8 Premier League games and losing both of their Champions League matches. Manager Erik ten Hag was under threat of being sacked last week, but was saved by a late Scott McTominay brace in a match against Brentford.
Shearer has made it clear that he does not think Ten Hag should be blamed for United's current situation, instead pointing the finger at the club's owners. The Glazers have been looking to sell the club for the past year, with two high-profile bids from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim being put forward. However, the sale of the club has not been successful and the discontent among fans has been ever growing.
The legendary Peter Schmeichel has also spoken out on the issue, defending Ten Hag from criticism. Meanwhile, Shearer has stated that McTominay has earned himself a starting spot when United face Sheffield United after the international break.
Former Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has come out in defense of the Glazers, while David Beckham has offered to help with the potential takeover of the club. It looks like the future of Manchester United is very much up in the air, but the fans will be hoping that changes soon.
