One X user wrote: "Sir Jim is smiling and laughing on TV. The camera just caught him. Not a care in the world."

A second said: "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 added: "I've just seen Jim Ratcliffe laughing and joking as he takes his seat. The protest looks like it's had a massive impact on him."

Supporters' group The 1958 had announced plans to protest against the club's ownership on Tuesday.

A spokesperson from The 1958 said: "The club is slowly dying before our eyes, on and off the pitch, and the blame lies squarely at the current ownership model.

"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."
