Manchester United's supporters made their feelings known towards their US owners with Avram Glazer in the stands for Friday's Premier League opener against Fulham.

Chants of 'we want Glazers out' were chanted from the Stretford End with Avram Glazer sat in the directors' box behind Sir Dave Brailsford and Omar Berrada.

Co-chairman Avram is a member of the Glazer family, who hold a majority ownership stake in the club.

The chants were made in the 19th minute, representing their 19-year ownership.

Malcom Glazer’s six children — Avram, Bryan, Darcie, Edward, Joel, and Kevin — own United after he acquired the bulk of the club’s shares through the investment firm Red Football Ltd in 2005.

The six Glazer children each received an equal share of their father’s 90 per cent controlling stake after he died of a protracted illness.

The Glazers have been criticised for burdening the club with debt and their general management.

Protests against them have become a more regular feature as results on the pitch have declined over the years.

Since their late father's stroke in April 2006, Joel and Avram have been in charge of overseeing the day-to-day operations of the club. They are co-chairmen and Bryan, Darcie, Edward, and Kevin are directors.
