Manchester United chief David Gill doesn't expect the anti-Glazer protests to fade away.

While Gill does not think a sale to the Red Knights is either likely or a good idea, he accepts the green and gold will be back next season.

"I don't think they will go away," Gill told Sky Sports News.

"There is a protest movement there and a lot of people feel exercised by it and very passionate about it. That is one of the strengths of Manchester United.

"There were some comments last week that I was belittling the protest. That could not be further from the truth. We understand it and it will be there."
