Since purchasing ‘The Red Devils’ in 2003, the Glazers have had a chilly relationship with the supporters, who regard them as parasites due to their leveraged takeover and evident financial goal. Many people say they are uninterested in football. After all, Joel Glazer spent two years simply learning the offside rule.
The family takes a lot of money out of the club without putting much back in, and they frequently fail to bring in the right players. Although they appear to be backing the squad by signing big-name stars, this is seen as a strategic strategy.
Rather than signing the players the manager needs to build his team, they choose the individuals who will sell the most shirts.
Furthermore, The Athletic revealed in 2020 that The Glazers’ ownership had cost United a staggering £1.5 billion in interest, debt, and other outgoings.
To make matters worse, they have stolen about £200 million from the club throughout the same time span.
As a result, it’s no wonder that hardcore fans want them gone. Supporters frequently adorn The South Stand with massive posters pleading with their owners to leave. They also hold rowdy protests in front of Old Trafford. But nothing has worked thus far. However, their most recent plan may pique The Glazer’s interest.
Manchester United fans are boycotting Adidas in order to get rid of The Glazers.
With everything else failing, the 1958 fan club has increased the pressure on its American owners. On Twitter, they’ve begun a #boycottAdidas movement. Every week, the organisation will rally supporters to wreak havoc on a United shareholder.
Fans have promised to boycott Adidas items until the Glazers sell the club. Adidas is the club’s official clothing supplier.
The 1958 fan club said on Wednesday night that they would be targeting a different stakeholder each week. On Twitter, they stated: “Calling all reds,” they said. We are launching a global cyber campaign against the Glazer stakeholders tonight. Each week, we’ll focus on one Stakeholder at a time, posting two simple activities every several days. This week’s topic is Adidas. Do your part and rescue your club.”
They want to diminish the efficacy of the stakeholder’s advertising expenditure and to create a negative brand perception, as indicated in the tweet below.
Calling all reds! Tonight we launch our worldwide cyber campaign against the Glazer stakeholders.
Each week we'll be focusing on one Stakeholder at a time and posting two easy tasks every few days that week.
This week we start with: Adidas
Do your bit, save your club.

Of course, the majority of United supporters have the same aim in mind, so they’ve flocked to Twitter to show their support.
This season, United fans have protested multiple times against the Glazer ownership. Before last month’s 3-2 win against Norwich, huge lettering saying “Glazers out” were unfurled.During the same game, several supporters refused to sit until the 17th minute to commemorate one minute for each year under Glazer ownership.
A mass walkout on 73 was also planned for the season’s last home game against Brentford. This time, the protest comes 17 minutes before the game’s finish, one minute for each year of ownership. On that particular occasion, however, the majority of fans chose to remain seated.
