How Erik ten Hag will cope with Manchester United fan unrest towards Glazers

The current good run that Manchester United have enjoyed in their most recent games has got supporters enthused about watching their side again after a dismal campaign last time around.

Erik ten Hag's men are on a four-game winning streak in the Premier League and head to the Etihad on Sunday looking to make it five in a row against champions Manchester City.

But one huge gripe remains for a large portion of the fanbase: the club's owners. The much-maligned Glazer family have owned the club since 2005, but supporter discontent around their ownership been bubbling for some time. Earlier this season fans took part in a mass protest prior to the home game against Liverpool.

But Paul Ince, the former United midfielder, believes Ten Hag will not be taking notice of the off-field situation and will simply be focusing on the football.

Speaking to Fairbettingsites, Reading boss Ince said: "I don’t really get involved in that type of stuff. As a manager, you know, all you do is you talk about football and you worry about football. It isn’t for me to say what the fans should do or fans shouldn’t do. All you want your supporters or your fans to do is to support the team.

"I can certainly see the reason behind it (protests), but sometimes it can be a distraction to the team. For me, as a manager, you never talk about the owners, and I’m sure Ten Hag will be thinking the same."
