The fans expressed their frustration at the American owners by storming Old Trafford on Sunday.
As a result, Manchester United’s Premier League fixture against Liverpool was postponed after hundreds of fans protested outside the stadium.
A select few even made their way into the stadium, with one fan finding his way into the changing rooms.

Around 100 United protesters made their way into the ground and let-off flares on the pitch
While a Greater Manchester Police officer nearly lost his eyesight during the protest as fans threw bottles when the law enforcement moved in to disperse the crowd.
The protests came after the Glazer family attempted to sign United up to the breakaway European Super League project as one of 12 founder members.
They withdrew along with the other five Premier League representatives when the scale of the backlash from fans and the wider football world became clear.
Manchester United co-chairman Joel Glazer admitted they ‘got it wrong’ and ‘apologised unreservedly’ to the fans.
