Manchester United have denied asking Real Sociedad to restrict protests against their owners after a fan was told he was not allowed to have his anti-Glazer flag in the away end.
Stewards working outside Real Sociedad's Reale Arena in San Sebastian on Thursday night went viral in a clip posted on social media.
In the clip the stewards are seen telling a visiting Manchester United fan that his 'Glazer Out' flag is being confiscated.
