"Image source, Getty Images Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has praised the backing he has received from the club's fans and says he is "not offended" by the protest planned before Sunday's Premier League encounter with Fulham. Carrick has a 100% record in his second spell in charge following unexpected wins against Manchester City and Arsenal."
"The group claims it expects between 5,000 and 6,000 fans to attend the protest march, although given it will start an hour before kick-off from either side of the stadium and meet in the middle by the 'Law, Best, Charlton' statue outside Old Trafford, exact numbers will be difficult to quantify. Organisers say they have "a few surprises in store"."
Michael Carrick praised the backing he has received from Manchester United supporters and described himself as "not offended" by the planned protest before the Fulham match. Carrick holds a 100% record in his second spell after unexpected wins over Manchester City and Arsenal, and United moved into the Premier League top four. The 1958 fan group expects 5,000–6,000 attendees, will march from both sides of Old Trafford an hour before kick-off, and will gather at the 'Law, Best, Charlton' statue. Organisers insisted the protest targets the club's ownership model rather than on-field performances, while anti-Glazer chants continue and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has faced negative supporter sentiment.
