Mass anti Glazer protest at Man U

MANCHESTER United fans vented their anger at the Glazer family with a huge protest ahead of today's final-day clash with Stoke.

Hundreds of supporters gathered outside the Old Trafford directors' box and chanted venomous songs against the club's owners.

They were soon moved on by police and there were also unconfirmed reports of a smoke bomb being let off inside the megastore.

Venomous ... supporters want Avram Glazer out

At least one injury was reported as a result of the incident.

United co-chairman Avram Glazer had been due to attend the game but never made the journey due to flying restrictions.

The demonstration is part of the anti-Glazer campaign, aimed at driving the Americans out of Old Trafford.

Unrest ... smoke bomb set off outside stadium

The green and gold scarves of the protest movement now dominate the terraces.

And a bid from the Red Knights group of wealthy United fans is also expected in the next few weeks.

However, the Glazers have constantly claimed they are not interested in doing a deal.

The Americans were never welcomed by a minority of fans but those feelings have grown markedly this season.

The full scale of the club's debts incurred in their controversial takeover became clear recently.

A successful bond issue highlighted the potential for the sale of both Old Trafford and their training complex should the Glazers hit repayment problems.

Although he has backed the Glazer family, United boss Alex Ferguson has previously defended the supporters' right to protest.
