At the start of the month, United fans witnessed a fairly uneventful Manchester Derby, with the occasion being the first time that neither club scored since 2020.
Despite the 0-0 draw, the fixture was far from uneventful with regards to the fans.
Before the match, The 1958 organised another protest linked with the Derby, a planned sit-in after the game to protest against The Glazers ownership.
The protest was also against the proposed change to seating around the dug-out which is the current allocation for some the longest-held season tickets.
However, during the sit-in after the game, one fan found himself up close and personal with Old Trafford stewards, as he was forcibly removed and restrained by the attendants.
The incident was caught on video by another fan, purposefully filming to ensure that “no one oversteps the mark”.
United previously commented that they are aware of the situation, however can’t comment due to ongoing investigations.
Now, The Daily Mail has reported that the incident is being further investigated by Greater Manchester Police.
The police force have explained that whilst they are reviewing footage from CCTV and fan-recorded videos and witness statements, no charges have been made as of yet.
However, the stewards in question will not be working at Old Trafford whilst the investigation is taking place.
In a response to The 1958 about the incident, United CEO Omar Berrada commented: “A police investigation into the incident is under way and we will not be making any comment whilst that is ongoing.”
He continued: “We can confirm that the security personnel involved in the incident will not be working for the club pending the outcome of that process.”
