August 14, (THEWILL) – Manchester United fans, must hold the Glazer family responsible for Saturday’s 4-0 embarrassing defeat at the hands of Brentford, according to the Man Utd Supporters Trust (MUST).
The shocking outcome, sparked protests from fans who claim that the Glazers, failed to support ErikTen Hag and left the manager hanging with a depleted team to begin the season. After the final whistle, while Ten Hag admitted that United needed to sign players, MUST released a rare statement to call on the Old Trafford hierarchy to change.
The statement read, “We don’t normally comment on matches, but extraordinary times call for a different approach. What we have witnessed [against Brentford] is an embarrassment — no, a humiliation — for Manchester United fans. And yet in many ways it was not a surprise. It feels like the culmination of a long-term direction of travel.
“MUST, hold the owners of the Club primarily responsible for this new low in our decade of decline. Sir Alex [Ferguson], papered over the cracks, but since 2013 the consequences of our owners has been plain to see. On behalf of Manchester United fans everywhere, we demand urgent and radical change. And we as fans – all of us – need to stick together. Fans unity, with one voice aimed at the owners and the club, is needed more than ever right now.
“Finally, as the fans in the ground showed, we will always support the shirts. Support the team, and defend the club. Our flag is deepest red, and we will never die.”
