Manchester United supporters will take part in a protest at Old Trafford before and during their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa in their latest demonstration against the club's owners, the Glazer family.

The Glazers are currently seeking 'strategic alternatives' for United, which could include a full or partial sale of their stake in the club.

They have enlisted the help of US merchant bank Raine Group to oversee a potential sale, with the latest deadline for offers being set as last Friday at 10pm.

Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim, through his Nine Two Foundation, and a joint bid of British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and petrochemicals company Ineos has also been submitted.

US hedge fund Elliott Management have also put through offers for a minority stake or investment into the club, with Football Insider claiming the Glazers expected as many as six offers were expected by the deadline.

But anger at the Glazer family still remains at an all-time high, with the initial takeover of the club through Malcolm Glazer was met with fury from a large majority of the club's fanbase.

And with the Glazers' 18-year reign at the club approaching next month, supporters will take their latest round of demonstrative action prior to the fixture against Villa.
