Manchester United supporters have continued to express their dissatisfaction with the club’s ownership following Sunday’s Premier League encounter against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
The latest demonstration follows a similar protest staged during last week’s Roma match, when fans distributed 4,000 green and yellow balloons before throwing tennis balls onto the pitch.
The green and yellow balloons, which have become a symbol of opposition to the club’s ownership, were once again displayed at the Stretford End before and during the Villa fixture.
Manchester United fans have been encouraged to bring green and gold ‘balloons, scarves and shirts’ to today’s game by six fan groups who are trying to increase the pressure on the club’s owners.

Several anti-Glazer banners were also raised around the stadium as supporters made their displeasure known.
United entered Sunday’s encounter sitting 18th in the league standings and endured a difficult start, falling two goals behind within the opening four minutes before fighting back to level the score at 2-2.
Interestingly, the supporters have shown increasing backing for Michael Carrick in recent weeks, directing much of their criticism towards the club’s owners and board rather than the manager.
The protests highlight the continued dissatisfaction among sections of the Manchester United fanbase over the club’s ownership.
