Manchester United to allow 10,000 fans to attend the Fulham game
According to news from Daily Mail, Manchester United will go ahead with the plans to allow 10,000 fans to attend the Fulham game despite the ongoing anti-Glazer protests.
The report claims that the club reviewed the decision to allow the fans to attend the game but arrived at a positive conclusion.
Though the decision to allow the fans was a formality earlier, the recent agitation surrounding Old Trafford led the club to review their decision.
The last time fans were in attendance was in March last year. It’s been 14 months now since the fans cheered for the team at Old Trafford.
Given the recent events that have unfolded, it’s safe to say the decision is a brave one by the club. Though the protests are justified, it’s not without consequences. A couple of fans were arrested ahead of our 4-2 loss to Liverpool.
In fact, Liverpool used a decoy team bus to reach Old Trafford in the first place. Hence, allowing an unhappy fan base to attend the game right now could have its consequences.

The protests, as long as they are conducted in an amicable way, will bear the fruits. However, if violence is the route taken by the protesters, then it would undo all the good work done to put pressure on the Glazers.
Let’s hope the attendees of the Fulham game realise this and carry themselves accordingly.
