Manchester United fans are planning protests against the club's owners for Saturday's game with Norwich City.

As unrest grows over a desperately disappointing season, it has emerged that an abusive sign was also left for United's players outside the club's Carrington training base over the weekend after defeat to Everton left them six points adrift of the top-four.

It read: "Embarrassing s**tbags. Not fit to wear the shirt get out of our club!"

A supporter group called The 1958 have organised a protest march against the Glazers that will end at Old Trafford before kick-off against Norwich.

They are calling on demonstrators to remain outside the ground for the first 17 minutes of the match to mark the Glazer family's 17-year ownership.

Plans have been posted on social media and retweeted several thousand times with a message declaring: "Nothing will change unless the head of the snake is removed. It's rotten and starts from the top down like any business. The club's a mess so we need to act and raise awareness again."
