Man United fans have been pretty vocal in expressing their disappointments in the Manchester United owners (the Glazers family) for their plans to join the European Super League. Fans, former stars and players did not shy away from sharing their agitation on the club's decision to keep everything under wraps as no one was informed regarding the major development. This led to a series of unfortunate events which ended up with Man United fans storming into the club's training ground and standing on the first-team training pitch with banners reading "Glazers Out".

Manchester United were one of the six Premier League clubs who agreed to join the European Super League and be a part of the founding members of the competition. The announcement of the Red Devils joining the breakaway controversial league started to flood in on Sunday evening. Soon, all the founding members of the European Super League received heavy criticism as the UEFA, the FA, and various governing bodies aimed to stop the formation of such a competition.

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire also approached Ed Woodward on Monday and confronted the club's executive vice-chairman who received a backlash for his involvement in the European Super League. Later on, Ed Woodward, the club's executive vice-chairman announced his decision of stepping down from his position at the end of 2021. The Manchester United owners also addressed an open letter to fans of the club to apologise for the "unrest" caused due to the Super League.
