In response to a protest march for fans, the Man United coach: I understand their feelings

The German coach of Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick, expressed his understanding of the anger of the fans, who "have the right to express their opinions", on the eve of a protest by some of them against the club's owners on the sidelines of the local football league match against Norwich City.

And the "58 group" announced the intention of its members of the fans to march towards "Old Trafford" before the Saturday match and to stay outside the field until the 17th minute of the match, in a move that symbolizes the 17 years that the American Glazer family spent in managing the club.

Today, there was a heavy security presence around the "Carrington" stadium for United exercises after about 30 fans gathered with an anti-Glazer family banner, before the police intervened to disperse them.

Rangnick, who took over the team until the end of the season from Norway's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer without improving the results, said he understood what was happening, saying, "We know that football is a game of passion and passion. I think we can all understand that our fans have been disappointed by our placement in the table." And also because of our performance against Everton."

"But I think our fans are some of the best, if not the best, fans in England, as long as they protest peacefully and as long as they still support the team on the field, I think they have a right to their opinions. I understand they have been disappointed."

United achieved only one victory in the last five league matches, the last of which was the defeat against relegation-threatened Everton, which made it seventh, 6 points behind the last fourth qualifying place for the Champions League, which is occupied by Tottenham.

What increases the difficulty of United’s position is that tough confrontations await from now until the end of the season, as after hosting Norwich, it will be a guest of rivals Liverpool, which is fighting its neighbor Manchester City for the title (one point separates them), then Arsenal, which lags Tottenham by a point with a match. Delayed in his pocket, as he has to face Chelsea III in the 37th, penultimate stage.

On May 2, 2021, United's match with Liverpool at Old Trafford was postponed after a protest escalation by nearly a thousand fans who stormed the stadium and damaged it.

The objection to the Glazer family has increased since the launch of the European Super League project, which aborted before it saw the light, and then things worsened more and more in light of the modest results of the “Red Devils” who called the Champions League competition from the price of the final by losing at home to Atletico Madrid 0-1. Home after a 1-1 draw.

Their campaign in the local cup competition ended in the fourth round with a penalty shootout loss against Middlesbrough from the second level "Championship".
