Richard Arnold has defended the way in which Manchester United has been run in recent years after meeting with fans who were set to protest the Glazers’ ownership.
The 1958 supporters group had planned to unfurl banners outside the United CEO’s home on Saturday demanding that he and the Glazers leave the club. The group though were surprised when Arnold met them at a pub close to his Cheshire property.
Arnold had been tipped off to the protest, and discussed a number of issues with the fans, including the pursuit of Frenkie de Jong and new manager Erik ten Hag’s other transfer targets. Of course, the hottest topic up for discussion was the club’s American owners.
