Unhappy Man Utd fans plan protests over transfer failures

Restless Manchester United fans are planning protests against their lack of transfer activity.

The Daily Mail says supporters are furious that the most important season in recent times has begun with United thrashing around for new players when they were led to believe all key business would be concluded shortly after the World Cup finished at the start of July.

Now a growing group of supporters will see what happens over the next week or so before planning a possible protest at Old Trafford when United face QPR on September 14.

That would be the first game after the transfer window closes, with some fans talking about a return to the 'Green and Gold' campaign that was a feature of anti-Glazer feeling back in 2010.

Sean Bones, of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust, said: "United supporters worldwide have hit out in huge numbers against the Glazer family's ownership of Manchester United via Twitter and Facebook.

"It's obviously something that will be a huge concern to the current sponsors who have invested a lot of money in Manchester United as a brand.

"There will be a lot of attention to see how the New York Stock Exchange views the negative reaction by supporters in terms of the Glazers' handling of United."
