Manchester United fans to fly ‘Ed Woodward out’ plane banner


MANCHESTER UNITED fans have paid for a plane to fly a protest banner calling for the head of supremo Ed Woodward.


And things are getting worse for Jose Mourinho with a number of top stars believing he could be gone soon.

The banner aimed at Woodward and club owners the Glazers will be flown over Turf Moor for United’s game at Burnley a week on Sunday.

It will state ED OUT — LUHG, the initials standing for Love United Hate Glazer.

It is telling that fans have decided to target the executive vice-chairman and not under pressure manager Mourinho, who is battling to keep his dressing room together.

The fans wanted to fly the banner over Old Trafford on Bank Holiday Monday for the televised evening clash with Spurs.

However, issues about flying a banner at that time, even shortly before the 8pm kick-off, led to plans being scrapped.

The Burnley protest will be the first time United fans have staged this sort of stunt since a section turned on David Moyes.

Their banner reading Wrong One — Moyes out, a reference to the Scot being Sir Alex Ferguson’s chosen successor, was flown over Old Trafford during United’s game with Aston Villa in March 2014.

But the move was unpopular with many — and backfired anyway as the team won 4-1.
Moyes would survive just four more games.

This time around, though, there is no chance of Woodward going.

To be fair to him, he has allowed Mourinho a net spend of £302million since he replaced Louis van Gaal in May 2016.

But there has been criticism of Woodward’s failure to land the centre-back and winger Mourinho wanted this summer.
