Manchester United fans storm stadium to protest Glazers, team owners who also own Tampa Bay Bucs

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United supporters stormed into the stadium and onto the pitch, delaying Sunday’s game against Liverpool as thousands of fans gathered outside Old Trafford to demand the Glazer family, who also own the Tampa Bay Bucs in Florida, sells the club.

Long-running anger against the American owners has boiled over after they were part of the failed attempt to take United into a European Super League.

The family, who also own the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have declined to engage with fans since buying United in 2005 in a leveraged takeover that loaded debt onto the club

Fans are currently unable to attend games due to the pandemic but they found a way into the stadium.
