Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick has expressed his respect for the club's supporters, despite a planned protest against the ownership. Fans, organised by 'The 1958' group, intend to demonstrate before Sunday's Premier League match against Fulham at Old Trafford on February 1.
Carrick stated that he and the players are not offended by the upcoming protest. He believes the team maintains a strong connection with the fanbase, viewing the ownership concerns as a separate matter from on-pitch performance. This comes after Carrick's strong start as interim manager, securing victories against Manchester City and Arsenal.
The protest targets the Glazer family and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with 'The 1958' citing "dysfunctional, inept ownership" and a "toxic partnership" at the club. Organisers confirmed the demonstration would proceed regardless of recent positive results.
