'Sir Matt Busby would be turning in his grave!' - Man Utd protest group blames Glazer family for 'slowly dying' club's 'biggest crisis since the Munich air disaster' as fans urged to wear black for Arsenal game

<p>The 1958 has been at the forefront of several anti-Glazer demonstrations in recent years, including a high-profile protest in December when the club announced an increase in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/sir-jim-ratcliffe-crisis-talks-angry-man-utd-fans-internal-club-row-boil-over-ahead-of-tottenham/blt2eb021a0632c30c0" target="_blank">matchday ticket prices to £66 per game.</a> The decision eliminated price concessions for children and pensioners, which was met with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ineos-200-man-utd-jobs-under-threat-part-owners-brutal-cost-cutting/blt7fcd5cfcdf24908b" target="_blank">widespread backlash from the fanbase.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Now, the 1958 are planning another large-scale protest before United take on Arsenal at Old Trafford. The protest group has urged fans to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/sir-jim-ratcliffe-elephant-angry-man-utd-fans-ticket-price-protest-ahead-of-arsenal-showdown/blt5a923b52e2020c05#csb72013018708b20d" target="_blank">wear black as a sign of mourning</a> for what they describe as the club’s "slow death". Their latest movement follows years of vocal opposition to the club’s ownership, particularly regarding financial mismanagement and rising ticket costs.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A spokesperson from The 1958 issued a scathing statement, which read: "The club is slowly dying before our eyes, on and off the pitch, and blame lies squarely at the current ownership model. In many ways, this is the biggest crisis United has faced since the Munich air disaster, which inspires our name. The club is facing financial armageddon. Debt is the road to ruin. Sir Matt Busby would be turning in his grave at the current plight of one of the world’s greatest football institutions, which is being brought to its knees and, in many ways, becoming a laughing stock.</p><p>"The club is going backwards, and it's likely to get even worse. We urge fans to rise up, unite and join us at 3 pm on Sunday as we march to the ground and protest against the despised Glazers and the club's deliberate assault on fan culture. We have been working hard across both club and non-club boundaries for the betterment of fans, our club and football for some time. Today, we announced protest details, which will not just be limited to action at the ground. This is more than just a club to us. We are more than just a number on a seat."</p>

WHAT THE 1958 SAID

<p>United’s financial situation under the Glazers has become increasingly concerning. The club’s debt has ballooned to £731 million, with an additional £300 million owed in transfer fees. Their failure to qualify for the Champions League has also led to a significant drop in broadcasting revenue, further straining their finances.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With tensions running high, only a strong performance and victory against Arsenal will momentarily ease fan frustrations. However, unless substantial changes occur at the club’s leadership level, with INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe now in charge of football operations as minority stakeholders, the backlash against the Glazers is unlikely to subside anytime soon.</p>
