The fan who clashed with Manchester United chief Darren Fletcher during Saturday's 1-1 draw has given his side of the story.
Jamie Caplan, a 25-year-old United supporter, shouted at the bench in fury as Kelechi Iheanacho scored for Leicester in the Premier League tie, according to his account with the Manchester Evening News.
Caplan says he was angry at the lack of effort from the United squad but didn't aim his words specifically at Fletcher until, he claims, the Scot asked him "who the f*** are you?"
He said, "He's the one who took offence and turned around and asked me who the f*** I was and to sit down. That's when I went back at Fletcher because I took that very personally.
"I then went into a bit of a rage, so he didn't say much then. And then Scott McTominay turned around. I couldn't make out what he was saying because I was already walking up the stairs by this point."
McTominay had been on the pitch for 55 minutes before being replaced by Marcus Rashford. United slipped behind eight minutes later.
Fletcher, meanwhile, was appointed as United's first technical director in March 2021. He had previously been working in a coaching role under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"As a matchgoing fan, I put a lot of money into the club, I go watch them a lot.
"'Where's the f***ing fight? You don't care'. That's pretty much word-for-word what I said. He (Fletcher) didn't like it. But he can't be in denial, he was there. He knows the standards that are required to be top-level.
"He was in a dressing room with Roy Keane and if he turned around to me and say that's a good enough United side then he's a liar and I don't believe him. Just look at all the old pros, they all say the same thing, it's just not there, the desire. It isn't there."
Caplan added to the MEN that he had no regrets over his outburst and would do it again. He left the match 10 minutes after the incident and was on the concourse when Fred equalised shortly after Iheanacho's strike.
He also said that he would like to speak to United to resolve the issue and not get banned.
