Manchester United supporters intensify Ineos boycott
Not easy to be a Red Devil for the past few weeks, Michael Carrick's Manchester United has endured a catastrophic start in the league, while supporters, exasperated, are launching a boycott against Ineos and the Glazer family on social media.
Catastrophic start and supporters' reaction
The club has collected only five points from five league matches, the worst start in twelve years. This performance leaves the Red Devil far from its supporters' expectations.
In the League Cup, the Red Devils were two goals up before Bryan Mbeumo's teammates saw Brighton score three times, thus eliminating Manchester United from the competition. This debacle has heightened the feeling of frustration among Man fans.
For the past few days, supporters have been mobilising on social media, using the hashtags #GlazersAndIneosOut and #BoycottUnited to challenge the club's results and direction. The movement aims to boycott the purchase of any Manchester United merchandise and its main sponsors.
The Glazer family has held fifteen percent of the club for more than twenty years, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe, through Ineos, has owned twenty‑five percent of the share capital since 2023. These significant stakes fuel supporters' criticism.
Clearly, Ineos pleases no one among the fans. Their dissatisfaction translates into growing pressure on the club's management.
