Man Utd protest fails to materialise as most fans stay put despite plans to walk out of final home game
MANCHESTER UNITED fans’ planned mass walkout has flopped, with most deciding to stay in their seats.

Fans had been urged by some of their peers to leave 17 minutes from time – marking the Glazer family’s 17 years as Man United owners.
The walk-out was organised by fan group “The 1958”.
Many supporters chanted “We want Glazers out” as the match entered the 73rd minute.
But not many actually left Old Trafford.

“The key to getting them out, we believe, is consistency.
“The turnout tonight has surprised us, but this needs to keep happening.
