Man United fans launch huge protest against the Glazers before Aston Villa clash - as Sir Jim Ratcliffe stays away from Old Trafford

Manchester United fans launched a seething protest against the club's Glazer owners before their final-day clash with Aston Villa.

Around 1,000 fans, led by the 1958 Group, marched down Sir Matt Busby Way outside Old Trafford with banners and flares to challenge '20 years of theft and lies'.

One fan seemingly dressed like the Grim Reaper joined the crowd and the protest spilled into the stadium, with banners flooding the stands.

Their ire was mostly aimed at the Glazers, who saddled the club with debt following their 2005 leveraged-buyout and are widely-viewed as responsible for a miserable last decade.
