MUST welcomes the Club’s announcement that the whole of the Stretford End will be restored to traditional fans from August 2024, with Execs relocated. We have long called for this and it was a key ask in our open letter in 2018.

So today the Glazers pay themselves the lion's share of an £11m dividend at the end of one of the worst seasons in living memory. Reward for failure is poor practice in any business, and totally unacceptable given the current state of things at United.

Every Manchester United fan will be heartbroken to learn of the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest legends ever to wear the red shirt. Perhaps more than any other player, Sir Bobby represented a lineage from the history and heritage of our club until the present day.

Overwhelming majority of United fans want to see a conclusion to this protracted sale process with the majority supporting a full sale - at least based on our soundings. Protest planned on Tuesday to make that message clear.
DON’T FEED GLAZER GREED! . The 1958 will have a presence at the megastore on Tuesday. A legal protest from 9:45am. Be there!. Bring your anti Glazer flags and banners! . Be loud, be visual. We don’t stop until they sell our club! . #GlazersOut.#BoycottAdidas

This article is nonsense. MUST is promoting the 1958-organised protest on Monday to our members. Where we are sceptical is how effective a walk-out will be - and @The__1958 have expressed similar scepticism about that too.

We want owners who have the same priorities as supporters. That’s what we have always had as our primary objective and clearly that requires current owners to sell so #GlazersOut is nothing new for us - but how that is achieved is key and there are different tactical approaches.

For United fans, Denis Law was nothing less than the King. A wonderful player and a wonderful man, and a scorer of goal after goal after goal in the 1960s. A Ballon d'Or winner, iconic goal scorer, and treasured part of our club's history, Denis embodied everything we hold dear.

Clearly all United fan groups/fanzines/media should be United - unity is strength.
@The__1958 and @MU_ST should really be joining forces. Both are working towards better outcomes for the fans and both want the club to return to it's place at the top of the footballing pyramid. Only United can we possibly achieve this. #GlazersOut .

Important for owners to understand the non-cash value of our match going support. We're so much more than just ticket revenue. We're not just customers, we're supporters. We're a key part of the club and when we're united we win together and nothing is better. Divided we fall.
Spurring us on to victory at Arsenal 👏. A safe journey home to our unmatched travelling Reds – you really are the best 🇾🇪. #MUFC || #FACup

Desperately sad news in respect of Lady Cathy Ferguson. She was Sir Alex’s rock and our thoughts are with him and the rest of the Ferguson family.
Everyone at Manchester United sends our heartfelt condolences to Sir Alex Ferguson and his family on the passing of Lady Cathy. Lady Cathy was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, and a tower of strength for Sir Alex throughout his career.

3/ He also promised that the football governance review being led by @tracey_crouch will be swift and look at issues such as Supporters owning shares in their club, supporters on Boards, and 50+1. It was encouraging to hear that the Government wants change.

1/ Both on the playing field and in the stadium, Manchester United is a club in dire need of investment. To see more money going out of the door to the owners whilst, so far this summer, seeing nothing invested into new players, is little more than an insult.

MUST (Shareholders United) founder Jim White. .
The money taken out of Man Utd to service the debt foisted on the operation by the Glazers could have allowed every season ticket holder to watch every single match for free over the past 18 years and still the club would have made a profit. And the debt is still there.

Thank you for your support @ChelseaSTrust . Cutting away allocations at any time needs to be resisted but this decision at short notice and after tickets have been sold to travelling fans is farcical and we agree it sets a dangerous precedent.
KO announced with 15 days notice & away allocation reduced. This confirms that as long as the game can be broadcast, supporters are disposable - this is an insult & sets a dangerous precedent. We stand with @MU_ST and the 624 supporters who will have their tickets cancelled.

First things first, it was very refreshing that he was even willing to have the conversation at this early stage. Remember the ‘deal’ has yet to receive Premier League approval, and nor has he bought the non-Glazer-owned shares or invested the $300m in new shares.
