A Manchester United supporters group has alleged it was censored by the club and American sports broadcaster, NBC, after protests against United's ownership were planned at a recent fan event in Philadelphia.

The 1958, 'an underground group of reds intent on upholding the values of Manchester United, its culture and traditions', released a statement Tuesday suggesting its efforts o protest in the US had been curtailed.

It says several US supporters groups planned to protest against Manchester United owner Avram Glazer at NBC Sports' Premier League fan fest in Philadelphia on October 15 and 16.
