Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s reaction in the crowd as Mark Goldbridge made a damning claim amid protests has incited anger among Manchester United fans.
On Sunday, thousands of Man United fans demonstrated against the club’s ownership in anticipation of their Premier League match against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
The supporters were attired in black and held a variety of signs as they expressed their opinions regarding the club’s operations.
One stated, “£66 for children’s tickets!” “Taking advantage of dreams!”
Another banner read, “United fights, fights, fights.” “The Glazers are out.”
After the game commenced, the cameras focused on the audience, where Ratcliffe was seated next to Man United CEO Omar Berrada. Edward Glazer was situated in front of the club chiefs.
Following the pre-match protests, Ratcliffe was observed laughing with Berrada, which incited anger among Man United fans.
“Sir Jim sat laughing…hasn’t a care in the world has he,” tweeted Goldbridge in response to the footage’s release on social media.
Others Ratcliffe’s giggle was also the subject of discussion among Man United supporters.
A user on X stated, “Sir Jim is currently on television, and he is smiling and laughing.” He was recently captured by the camera. There is no concern in the world.
A third individual stated: “Good old sir Jim Ratcliffe, laughing in the crowd after stopping charity funding & making hundreds redundant to save his own back pocket, but remember, it was Rashford that was the issue.”
A third individual commented, “I have just observed Jim Ratcliffe laughing and joking as he takes his seat.” It appears that the protest has had a significant effect on him.
On Tuesday, The 1958, a supporter group, announced its intention to protest the club’s ownership.
According to a spokesperson from The 1958, the current ownership model is the direct cause of the club’s gradual decline, both on and off the pitch.
“In many ways, this is the biggest crisis the club faced since the Munich air disaster [which killed 23 in 1958] which inspires our name.”
