Manchester United fans on social media are attempting to arrange a protest that will empty the stadium when they face Liverpool on the 22nd of September.

Fans have been incredibly angered in recent years, especially with the club moving backwards both on the pitch and off it.

Furthermore, the failure of the proposed super-league saw fans riot at Old Trafford during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, the latest reports are that when they face Liverpool on the 22nd, they will encourage a mass walk-out, that’s if Mohamed Salah hasn’t already cut through their side and scored a couple first…

What will happen on September 22nd?

A demonstration against the owners resulted in an Old Trafford megastore being closed prior to their Premier League opener on Sunday.

A video posted on Twitter by the anti-Glazer fan account ‘The 1958‘ shows a number of fans bearing a banner emblazoned with ‘Fight for United’ as fans call for the unpopular owners to sell the club.

There was a protest in May, as fans walked out in the 73rd minute against Brentford but seems ready to explode on a much bigger scale.

United fan Aidan Walsh (@AidanWalshMUFC) is trying to ensure supporters stay away from Old Trafford later this month in an effort to send a message to their American owners.

Is history repeating itself?

Some of likening the walk-out to that of Valencia or Milan – on both occasions fans fought back against their clubs.

United fans will protest against the Glazers and the current state of their club with a hostile takeover seemingly imminent.

Jokes have been flying around social media from Liverpool fans who suggest that Mohamed Salah’s hattrick in Liverpool’s 5-0 drubbing of United last season caused the same outcome.

The punchline being United fans left in masses last season as Liverpool trounced them on their own turf, further shining a light on the gap in quality between the two teams in the present day.
