Red alert! Manchester United will stick to plans to welcome 10,000 fans back into Old Trafford for Tuesday's clash with Fulham despite violent anti-Glazer protests in recent weeks

Manchester United will go ahead with plans to let supporters back into Old Trafford despite violent protests against the club’s owners.

Sportsmail can reveal that the decision to allow 10,000 fans into the ground for Tuesday’s game against Fulham was reviewed on Friday following anti-Glazer demonstrations.

What had been considered a formality following the Government’s decision to ease lockdown restrictions was thrown into doubt by Thursday’s protest before the defeat by Liverpool.

But after urgent talks between United and their safety advisory group — made up of Trafford Borough Council, local police and emergency services — a safety certificate for the Fulham game was eventually issued late in the day.
