New Manchester United CEO, Omar Berrada, has recently turned down a request from one of the clubs supporters’ group around fan representation.
The Red Army have recently called for an “atmosphere and fan culture” representative to sit on United’s Fans Forum. The group feel this role is needed within the forum with the Red Army having “growing concerns” around the atmosphere inside the iconic stadium.
In charge of the atmosphere section at United, The Red Army have been in regular opposition with United over its future, with the club considering plans around a new stadium.
Whilst the potential of a rebranding of Old Trafford coming from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the club are now looking to build an entirely new stadium and scale Old Trafford down to be a 30,000 capacity venue for the Women’s and Academy teams.
The Red Army have now written to Berrada directly regrading their request for an “atmosphere and fan culture” representative role to be created.
Unfortunately for the supporters group, Berrada has rejected the proposal as he does not believe that a responsibility like that should fall on only one person to advise around such an important factor.
Despite his rejection, the fact that Berrada responded to The Red Army will have given the group some encouragement of being heard after years of silence from senior officials at United.
