Lisandro Martinez’s view that Michael Carrick has been sold short and the squad has not been equipped with the depth to fight on multiple fronts is shared by several senior players - and football staff. It has been discussed in the dressing room with the club aware of frustrations around recruitment.
There was a fear ahead of the campaign that the squad would not be strengthened properly - the lack of cover at left-back and striker were major concerns, which is evidenced in how much the need for reinforcements was stressed during pre-season interviews.
Told the driving reason behind Martinez’s airing these grievances publicly is fury that Carrick is likely going to lose his job despite not being given the tools to have a fair crack, and players are sick of reset after reset, without questions asked of the people in charge and what direction they’re taking the club in.
Carrick and the team have faced criticism, accepted it, and owned up to performances being nowhere near good enough.
Where is the accountability from the people who keep leading the club to one doom spiral after another?
Follow Up Fulham Protest ✊
Thank you to the thousands of fans who turned out before the Fulham game. Your presence mattered. It showed that fan culture at this club is still alive and still prepared to stand up when it is directly attacked. This action gained national and worldwide media coverage.
Protests matter culturally and on an emotional level. They let the club and ownership know that we are watching. That we are not going away and that we are not fucking happy.
This protest was about ticket prices, access, atmosphere and supporter culture. It was about the systematic removal of ordinary fans so football can be sanitised, globalised and sold back to us at ever increasing prices. This is not accidental. It is a choice being made by those who see football as a product rather than a community.
Protests are not and never have been a silver bullet. They require dedication, commitment and an unyielding belief.
Old Trafford 🏟️
Old Trafford is our home. Not a commodity. Not a branding exercise. Not a development opportunity. It is the last physical link many supporters have to this club, alongside terrace traditions handed down through families and generations.
Ticketing & Fan Culture 🎟️
We will continue to stand for fan culture and for affordable football for this generation, the next generation and those yet to be born. Football without supporters is nothing.
Responsible Ownership ⚖️
We want responsible ownership. Let there be no ambiguity. Not the Glazers. Not INEOS. Neither represent responsibility, accountability or respect for Manchester United or its supporters. Protests have never been about results, managers or signings. They weren’t in 2005. They weren’t in 2010. They never have been since. We will support this club and this team no matter what happens on the pitch. That support is unconditional. Our opposition to ownership that harms the club is not.
To those who mock, to those who sneer and to those who laugh while doing fuck all, it says more about the type of person you are than anything else. To those who seem obsessed by us (probably bots or idiots) but have been blocked by our automation, seriously get a fucking life. To the too cool for school crowd distracted by a couple of decent results and thinking this doesn’t affect you, it will. Ask yourselves where this road leads.
You will not be laughing when tickets cost £100 to £150 per game. You will not be laughing when you are sat in a soulless bowl stripped of identity and filled with Americanised bollocks. You will not be laughing when families can’t be introduced to our club. Everything that once made our club and English football the envy of the world is being hollowed out for profit.
We do not do this for recognition. We monetise nothing. We gain nothing. There is no hidden agenda. This is purely about love for our club and for those who passed it on to us in the right way.
That is our only motivation.
Family.
Club.
Community.

🗣️A CALL FOR UNITY AND TO CAST ASIDE DIFFERENCES
Some journalists, paid accounts, and bots will do everything they can to discredit and defuse any message or action that challenges this ownership. That’s expected, we have always had to put up with this.
We do what we do for one reason only, the love of our club. Nothing else. We have never monetised this. We have never sold access, clicks, or credibility, unlike others.
We put ourselves out there to defend and fight for our club, fan culture and for the next generation of supporters. We are just honest, hard working lads who refuse to be silenced.
Look around. Cut through the bullshit. They do not want fans united against the ownership, so they will do whatever they can to divide opinion and fracture support.
We urge fans to unite, stay the course this time, no matter any previous differences. We can all go back to calling each other 🤬 after if needed. Fans are not the problem. We are not the problem.
One unified goal: the removal of this rotten ownership and inept executive team.
Follow the truth.
Tomorrow belongs to those who see it coming.
The 1958🇾🇪
Right after the tongue in cheek piss take (a bit cringy to) yesterday which was sent to us, time to get serious.
This shouldn’t need explaining but this protest is against
👉Glazers (dysfunctional/inept owner partnership)
👉INEOS/Ratcliffe (dysfunctional/inept owner partnership)
👉Inept executives (Barreda/Wilcox)
This is our full press release.
🗣️PRESS RELEASE: PROTEST ANNOUNCEMENT
It has been an extraordinary and deeply troubling few days at Manchester United.
On the pitch, we are watching mediocre performances from an average team drifting without identity, direction, or ambition. Off it, the chaos is even worse.
A manager has reportedly been dismissed not primarily for abject performances against Grimsby, Everton, West Ham, and Wolves, but allegedly for a heated exchange with Jason Wilcox. Wilcox a man with just nine months’ experience as a Director of Football at Southampton is said to have attempted to interfere tactically, despite the club hiring Ruben fully aware of his rigid system. The situation beggars belief.
This decision was allegedly endorsed by Omar Berrada, a CEO with no prior experience in the role, listening to the complaints of a close ally rather than exercising independent leadership. We are once again witnessing Manchester United being run by executives learning on the job, at the expense of results, stability, and credibility.
Let us be clear: this is not a defence of Ruben or the football served up under him. Much of it was unacceptable. But his dismissal once again exposes the continued dysfunction at our club.
Manchester United is now owned by a toxic partnership where fans are getting the worst of both worlds.
The Glazers continue to cream money off the top, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS hammer supporters at the bottom. Together, they are running one of the biggest clubs in world football like a local corner shop penny pinching, short term, and utterly devoid of vision.
WE CALL FOR A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN THE OWNERSHIP, BERRADA AND WILCOX
Over $1 billion has already been sucked out of Manchester United at the altar of greed.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has betrayed the hope and faith many supporters placed in him and INEOS. He was supposed to be change. Instead, he has become the perfect Glazer shield absorbing public criticism while Joel and Avram Glazer quietly continue their asset stripping behind the scenes.
Nothing has changed. In truth, it is worse.
Our club is run like a media circus. The social accounts a mess, the clubs a mess with access and tickets thrown about like confetti to influencers. Fan culture being destroyed on and off the pitch
INEOS’ incompetence is now clear for all to see. The direction of their intentions is obvious. We expect further marginalisation of match-going fans, continued bullying of season ticket holders, and an accelerated move toward a future where supporters are priced out entirely.
A model where fans pay £100-£150 per match, mirroring the grotesque PSL system, is no longer a distant threat it is looming closer with every decision they make. Our club again leading the way across the Premier League in how to exploit not reward loyalty.
Fans have been banned from home and away games, not for violence or disorder, but to free up tickets to be sold to tourists chasing a “once-in-a-lifetime experience”. We’ve had the club flouting their own rules and passing on away tickets to darts players. Leeds away should have been a line in the sand. It wasn’t.
We warned about this.
We warned where this was heading.
Too many are now sleepwalking into the abyss.
Earlier this season, we asked supporters if they wanted to protest. Many chose to give Sir Jim time. That time has been squandered. The situation is undeniably worse.
That is why we will protest at Fulham at home on Sunday 1st February (or Spurs on the 7th should the club decide the Munich remembrance takes place on the 1st).
As announced we protest against this dysfunctional co-ownership before Fulham.
But you have got to watch this! 😂
Full press statement tomorrow.

Dont touch my little sister she’s 12, The screams from a child after growing men trying to prey on young children
This 14-year-old girl in Dundee has been charged for protecting her little sister from harm.
This young girl is not a criminal she’s a HERO
If her parents or legal team can be contacted I am happy to help cover any legal fees.
We must protect those who protect others 🏴
This little girl, Emilia, goes to school with my son. At just 5 years old, she’s facing an unimaginable fight after being diagnosed with an aggressive, high-risk brain tumour (Medulloblastoma).
Only weeks ago, she was dancing, playing with her dolls, and enjoying family camping trips. Then, out of nowhere, she lost feeling in her leg and arm, and her speech changed. An MRI revealed a large, life-threatening tumour at the base of her brain. Surgeons acted quickly and removed it, but her battle has only just begun.
Emilia now faces weeks of proton beam radiotherapy, months of chemotherapy, and countless procedures. Her parents, Alex and Seb, are taking unpaid leave to care for her while still looking after their two boys, creating huge financial pressure.
If we can, please help this beautiful family, whether by donating or sharing their story so they can focus entirely on Emilia’s fight.
