Manchester United supporters staged a visible protest against the club's ownership ahead of a match at Old Trafford, releasing balloons and throwing tennis balls onto the pitch as a demonstration of their ongoing dissatisfaction.
The protest, reported by The Sporting News, took place on November 3, 2026, with fans using the pre-match period to voice their opposition to the Glazer family's ownership of the Premier League club. Tennis balls were thrown onto the playing surface while balloons were released in the stands, creating a visual disruption intended to draw attention to supporter grievances.
Fan protests against the Glazer ownership have been a recurring feature at Old Trafford for several years, with supporters criticizing the leveraged buyout structure, dividend payments, and perceived lack of investment in the squad and infrastructure. The latest demonstration continues a pattern of organized fan actions aimed at pressuring the owners to sell the club.
