MANCHESTER UNITED FAN GROUP 'THE 1958' ANNOUNCES HUGE FULHAM PROTEST

Manchester United fan group 'The 1958' expects 6,000 supporters to march against the Glazers and Jim Ratcliffe at the Fulham game.

Manchester United fan group 'The 1958' announces huge Fulham protest
6,000+ fans to demand full sale at Old Trafford despite Carrick's win

Manchester United fan group ‘the 1958’ just announced another protest against the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the next home game against Fulham. They’re expecting more than 6,000 frustrated supporters to show up—maybe even more than last time.

This weekend, Michael Carrick and his squad head to the Emirates to face league leaders Arsenal. But the real action, at least off the pitch, is coming at Old Trafford when Fulham visits. That’s when fans will make their voices heard, targeting both the Glazers and Ratcliffe, who is now running the football side since buying his 27.7% stake for £1.6 billion. Since 2005, United supporters have never really stopped criticising the Glazers. And as for Ratcliffe, patience has pretty much run out.

A spokesperson from 1958 didn’t mince words: “Twenty-one years of debt, mismanagement, and greed is twenty-one years too many. Enough is enough.”

They went on: “We’re not going to sit quietly. Jim Ratcliffe, you picked your side—and it’s not ours. Now you stand with the Glazers.

“To many, you look like a clown, stumbling from one disaster to the next, in way over your head at one of the world’s great clubs. We were promised the best, but right now United’s a joke—a circus, even, with this new stadium design included.”

As for why now, the group explained, “Earlier this season, we asked fans if they wanted to protest. Many decided to give Ratcliffe a chance.

“He’s wasted it. Things are worse. Sure, we beat City, but that’s just one game—it doesn’t change the big picture. This isn’t about Carrick or what happens on the pitch. It’s about the people running the club.

“We’ve had enough false hope. History tells us what happens under this kind of ownership. It’s a boomerang—we can’t move on until they’re gone.”

They’re expecting a bigger turnout than the 5,000-6,000 who marched before the Arsenal match last May, calling this the biggest protest yet—now officially aimed at Ratcliffe too.

On the field, United’s latest win over City bumped them up to fifth in the league, which could be enough for a Champions League spot depending on how things go for English clubs in Europe.

Meanwhile, there’s still chaos in the manager’s chair. Last March, Ratcliffe backed Ruben Amorim, then sacked him at the start of 2026 after Amorim criticised the board in his last press conference. Now United’s looking for a third permanent manager after letting both Ten Hag and Amorim go. Carrick’s off to a good start, but everyone expects he’ll only be in charge until the season wraps up.

Benjamin Sesko’s magic flick earns Manchester United a dramatic point

Manchester United left it late, grabbing a dramatic draw against West Ham at the London Stadium. Tomas Soucek seemed to have won it for the Hammers with his second-half goal, but Benjamin Sesko popped up in stoppage time with a clever finish to snatch a point for United, who’ve been on a good run. The first half really dragged. United couldn’t break West Ham down at all. Everyone in a claret shirt just sat deep. Luke Shaw came closest, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared his shot off the line.

After the break, things actually got interesting. Four minutes in, Soucek bundled one in from close range. Casemiro thought he’d levelled things up after an hour, but VAR ruled his header out for offside. Both teams had chances as the clock ran down, but it was Sesko who finally found the net deep into stoppage time, saving United right at the end.

Man United player ratings vs West Ham

Senne Lammens – 6

Came up big early to deny Summerville from a distance. No chance with Soucek’s goal.

Diogo Dalot – 4

Had a tough time with Summerville’s pace and kept giving the ball away. Picked up a needless yellow.

Lisandro Martínez – 6

Easily the most composed passer at the back, breaking lines a few times. Solid defensively for the most part.

Luke Shaw – 5

Almost scored in the first half, but his shot was cleared off the line. Then stepped out of position before Soucek’s goal, which cost United.

Casemiro – 7

Pretty solid in midfield—broke up play and timed his tackles well. Scored with a header, but it didn’t count.

Kobbie Mainoo – 6

Kept things ticking in the middle but couldn’t really hurt West Ham. Lost Soucek for the goal.

Amad – 5

Had a decent look before halftime but hit the side netting. Didn’t offer his usual spark.

Matheus Cunha – 4

Barely got involved. Dropped deep to get on the ball but didn’t do anything with it.

Bryan Mbeumo – 5

Ran hard, tracked back, and helped defensively, but didn’t threaten much in attack.

Joshua Zirkzee – 6

Came on for Maguire for the last 20 minutes and made a couple of crucial blocks as West Ham pressed for another.

Benjamin Sesko – 7

Subbed in for Cunha in the second half and poked home in stoppage time to grab United a point.

DISCOVER WHICH MANCHESTER UNITED STARS WILL MISS THE WEST HAM CLASH

Michael Carrick confirms Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt will miss Manchester United’s clash with West Ham as the win streak nears 5.

Michael Carrick Confirms Mason Mount Out For Manchester United vs West Ham

Here’s the latest on Man United’s injury list and who’s likely to return when they take on West Ham.

Man United head to the London Stadium on Tuesday night without three key players. All of them are still recovering. Michael Carrick, who’s already chalked up four straight wins since taking over, is aiming to stretch that run to five. United are right in the mix for a Champions League spot now, just three points off third-placed Aston Villa.

They’ll want to keep racking up points, but after the West Ham game, there’s nearly a two-week gap before they play Everton. That’s not enough time for any of the injured guys to make it back for West Ham, though Carrick’s hoping at least one of them will be ready for the Everton trip later this month.

So, who’s out? The same trio that missed the weekend win over the Spurs. None of them will feature in East London. De Ligt hasn’t played since beating Crystal Palace at the end of November. Carrick says it’s still too soon to predict exactly when he’ll be fit again.

Dorgu is dealing with a hamstring injury from the Arsenal match last month. He’ll be out for about two months and probably won’t return until after the March international break. Mount has already missed the last two games after picking up a small knock in training. He won’t make it in time for West Ham, but Carrick expects him back to face Everton.

“Mason probably won’t be ready for Tuesday, probably after, but definitely by the Everton game, he’ll be back,” Carrick told reporters before the match. “Matta, we’ll see how he gets on… the Everton game still feels a way off, so we’ll just have to watch his progress. He’s doing well, heading in the right direction, but Mason’s a bit closer.”
