Man Utd fans confront Sir Jim Ratcliffe outside Craven Cottage after Fulham game

Manchester United fans confronted minority co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe outside Craven Cottage following their side's 1-0 win over Fulham.

United secured a priceless victory in west London following a deflected second half goal from Lisandro Martinez.

Amad thought he had made it 2-0 late on but VAR deemed that he was marginally offside in the build-up.

United fans, therefore, celebrated a return to winning ways in the Premier League after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton last weekend.

That loss prompted Amorim to say his side were 'being the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United', and they have since reacted to those comments by beating Rangers and now Fulham.

In the away end at Fulham, fans chanted for the removal of current United majority owners, the Glazer family, who have long been criticised among a majority of the fanbase.

There have also been concerns over the actions of Ratcliffe and INEOS, who took over control of footballing operations upon securing a 25 per cent stake in the club in February 2024.

Ratcliffe has been on a ruthless cost-cutting mission, including job cuts, ticket price rises, removal of concessionary pricing for children and senior citizens, as well as a plan to cut funding to the Manchester United Foundation charity - though a club says 'significant' funding will still continue.

Outside the ground at Craven Cottage, a group of United fans confronted Ratcliffe - who was in the back of a car - over the ticket price rises in particular.

One fan could be heard shouting: "66 quid? Are you having a f***ing laugh? What are you doing? You're the owners. Come on, mate, sort it out. You're worse than the Glazers, mate. F**k you."

After briefly rolling down his car window, Ratcliffe then wound it back up again before the car left.

The club's decision to increase matchday ticket prices at Old Trafford to the aforementioned £66 per game drew ire from United supporters at the time it was announced in December.

United defended the decision and said it only affected three per cent of total matchday tickets.

Steve Crompton, of the FC58 fans' group, told BBC Sport: "Are things [at the club] worse than he [Ratcliffe] realised? We are not naive. This £66 is not going to write off £1bn worth of debt.

"The damage he is doing, for insignificant gains financially, is bordering on the ridiculous."
