Manchester United fans 'planning walkout protest against Brentford'

A number of Manchester United supporters are expected to exit Old Trafford in the 73rd minute of Monday's Premier League fixture against Brentford.

United enter the fixture with their hopes of a top-four finish realistically having ended, and only a win will do versus the Bees if they want to retain any hope of challenging for fifth position.

However, in what is their final home game of the season, the Manchester Evening News claims that protests against the Glazer Family could again take centre stage.

The report says that a number of United fans plan to walk out in the 73rd minute, the remaining 17 minutes being representative of how many years the American billionaries have owned the club.

That is expected to be preceded by marches taking place ahead of the game as supporters continue to voice their frustration at failed promises and an ongoing decline with the Glazers in charge.

Should United lose to Brentford, they will be at risk of being overtaken by seventh-placed West Ham United, who are currently three points adrift of the Red Devils.
