Manchester United supporters are reportedly set to hold a protest before the club's Premier League opener against Brighton & Hove Albion.

A behind-closed-doors match against Liverpool in May 2021 was postponed after protesting fans entered Old Trafford, while there were also protests at the final three home games of last season.

United hopes that the appointment of Erik ten Hag would help ease unrest towards the Glazer family ahead of the new season.

However, the supporters group '1958' are set to hold a protest against United's ownership ahead of Sunday's opening Premier League game against Brighton at Old Trafford.

The group wrote on Twitter: "The Glazers are unfit and improper owners.

"We will always support the club. We will always support the manager. We will always rise up against the current owners and any puppet hierarchy they appoint.

"Our club's future is our only motivation. Some things are worth fighting for."

The fan group are reportedly attempting to close off the entrance to the East Stand Megastore and the Directors' entrance.
