Manchester United are to increase security for their final match of the season – amid a planned protest and growing anger at the club’s ownership.

Extra measures have been taken ahead of the visit of Aston Villa, which will bring down the curtain on a season of serious underachievement at Old Trafford. Mail Sport understands that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who took a minority stake in the club last January is at this stage 'unlikely' to attend.

A protest had already been planned before Wednesday’s Europa League final, but the loss to Tottenham has done little to ease the depth of feeling against the Glazer family and minority shareholder Ratcliffe.
