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.

WHY MARCUS RASHFORD IS OFFICIALLY SNUBBING MICHAEL CARRICK’S MANCHESTER UNITED SOS RETURN PLEA

Marcus Rashford has no interest in a Manchester United return. Discover why he’s choosing a permanent £26m move to Barcelona instead.

Marcus Rashford is right to choose the sun of Spain over Manchester

Marcus Rashford isn’t looking back at Manchester United. After his loan to Barcelona, he’s made it pretty clear he wants to stay in Spain for good.

He landed at Barca last summer, a move that made sense after things soured for him at Old Trafford. Hansi Flick brought him in on a season-long loan, with a deal in place to buy him for €30 million (£26 million). Rashford wasted no time showing his worth—22 goal contributions in 32 games. He’s settled in fast, and the fans have noticed.

Earlier on, it sounded like Barcelona might try to haggle over the fee, maybe push for another loan or a cheaper deal. But now, according to Marca, that’s off the table. The club’s ready to pay what they agreed and make Rashford’s move permanent. Rashford wants it too. Everyone seems to be on the same page.

The Mirror reports Rashford has zero interest in heading back to Manchester. He wants his future sorted before England sets off for the 2026 World Cup in North America. No surprise there—he’s not looking to drag things out.

England’s first match is June 17 against Croatia, just two weeks after Barcelona’s season wraps up. Some talk suggested Michael Carrick, if he gets the United job permanently, could try to lure Rashford back. But honestly, Rashford’s mind is made up. He wants Spain, and that’s that.

Even if the Barcelona deal somehow falls through, Rashford would rather move elsewhere than wear United’s shirt again. If everything goes as planned, his transfer will be United’s first big move this summer.

He’s not the only one heading out. Casemiro’s already confirmed he’s leaving, and a few others might follow. United have juggled rumours about guys like Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee, and Kobbie Mainoo, especially back in January. After Ruben Amorim left, Mainoo actually found himself in a stronger spot at United and has started every match since Carrick came back. Lately, there’s been a real push to get him into the England squad.

Meanwhile, United are fighting for a Champions League spot. If they make the top five, they’ll have more cash to play with this summer. Last year, they spent over £200 million beefing up the squad, even without European football.

If Rashford, Ugarte, and Zirkzee all leave, United will have even more flexibility to reshape the team. Top priorities? A central midfielder, a centre-forward, and a left winger before the 2026/27 season kicks off. This summer’s shaping up to be busy at Old Trafford.

COLE PALMER "OPEN" TO MANCHESTER UNITED SWITCH AMID HOMESICK RUMORS

Cole Palmer is reportedly open to a summer move to boyhood club Manchester United as claims of homesickness emerge at Chelsea.

Family ties are pulling Chelsea’s star back to Manchester

Cole Palmer just can’t seem to escape transfer talk. Now, it’s Manchester United in the headlines, with rumours swirling that he’s homesick after spending two and a half years at Chelsea.

Apparently, Palmer wouldn’t mind a big summer move to United—his boyhood club—especially with fresh claims that he’s not exactly settled in London. He joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £42.5 million deal and quickly became one of their main attacking threats. But now, the England international’s name keeps popping up in connection to a return up north.

The Sun says Palmer would be open if United came calling, since he grew up supporting them. But don’t expect him to head back to City while Pep Guardiola’s still the boss. That door’s basically closed.

It’s worth noting that Jason Wilcox, United’s director of football, knows Palmer well from his time at City’s academy. Wilcox is a big fan—hard not to be, after Palmer racked up 15 goals and eight assists in the Premier League last season.

Despite signing a new deal with Chelsea last year that runs until 2033, Palmer reportedly misses his hometown of Wythenshawe.

Injuries have made this season tough for him. He’s only managed 13 appearances in the 2025-26 campaign, and he missed Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday because of a thigh problem. Liam Rosenior, Chelsea’s new head coach, confirmed that before the match.

Rosenior’s already tried to put a lid on the transfer rumours, especially the talk about Palmer being homesick. “I’ve spoken to Cole plenty of times, and he seems really happy here,” Rosenior said last week. “He’s a huge part of our long-term plans.

“My job—and the club’s—is to help him consistently play at his best. He was frustrated after the Brentford game, for sure. We need to take care of him, and that’s why I kept him out of the last match.”
