Manchester United fans march to Old Trafford to demand 100% sale – video
Manchester United fans took to the streets before their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa to demonstrate against the club's owners, the Glazer family, calling on them to sell all stakes in the club. Fans marched to the team's Old Trafford stadium with banners reading 'full sale only' and 'Glazers out'. The Glazers launched a formal sale process of the club late last year and have received several bids, including from the British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe. Supporters are unhappy about Ratcliffe's bid to buy just over 50% of United and him being open to one or more of the Glazer siblings retaining a stake. The demonstrators called for whatever sale might go through to be a full sale, removing the Glazer family from any ties to the club.
