Despite the 6-0 win over the Tranmere Rovers, Manchester United supporters continue to demand a change of leadership. They want the Glazers family, owner of the club, out, and the same goes for Ed Woodward. Ironically, team manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not a target for sacking, and he is calling for unity.
The Red Devils trounced Tranmere, and six goals were produced by different members of the squad, but the fans were far from impressed. They were chanting their frustrations on how the club is being handled by the hierarchy. The specific targets were the Glazers and Woodward, the team's executive vice-chairman.
One song repeatedly chanted by United fans underscored the rising disenchantment on Woodward, whose stewardship of the club had been deemed unacceptable by the team supporters, The Telegraph reported.
In the same way, the fans also made known of their desire to get the Glazers out of the picture. They demand that the club owners sell to a party that will take better care of United.
Fans blamed Woodward for his poor recruitment record, highlighted by the recent miss that saw Norwegian striker Erling Haaland ending up with Borussia Dortmund following weeks of speculations that he was sure to arrive at Old Trafford.
Likewise, United fans are puzzled by the drag that characterized the negotiations to trade for Bruno Fernandes, which seemed to have exposed Woodward's lack of persuasive skills.
As for the Glazers, Metro said United fans appeared to believe the family is completely clueless about football.
"The distant Glazers are thought not to care about success on the pitch should they be delivering financially off it," the report said.
When asked about the sentiments expressed by the fans, Solskjaer said he could only hope that all concerned parties should just work together for the good of the team.
"We've got to stay together, we've got to keep working," the United boss called on the club supporters, many of which accompanied the Red Devils on the road to send out their collective message to team executives.
Solskjaer also reminded that in United all members are considered as good footballers, and they always pour out their best in every game no matter the result. On this, he promised that United would bring the good times back one game at a time.
"We'll try to win the next one and the next one after that and then we'll get the good times back," the coach vowed.
Of note, according to Solskjaer, is that the win over Tranmere saw six different United players successfully bringing the ball to the net, which for him is nothing short of brilliance.
