Live right now: #BoycottUnited and #GlazersAndIneosOut are trending — United's worst start to a season since 2014-15 (5 points from 5 games, out of the League Cup in round three) has brought this to a head again.

Manchester United isn't a line on a balance sheet. It's the same seat every other Saturday, three generations of the same family, a badge that's supposed to mean something. Twenty years of debt-funded ownership have never once asked supporters what they think this club should be. This isn't entitlement — it's asking the people who've paid for it, one way or another, the whole time.

Sign the petition

A page like this can't collect real, verifiable public signatures on its own — that needs a proper petition platform. Here's the statement drafted and ready, plus the two places worth putting it so it actually counts.

We, the undersigned supporters of Manchester United Football Club, call on the Glazer family and INEOS to sell their controlling interest in the club to new ownership — one that includes genuine, binding supporter representation, including a real shareholding and board seat for the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST). We further call on the Independent Football Regulator to fully scrutinise Manchester United's financial sustainability, including its debt levels, as part of its club licensing process, and to ensure supporters are formally consulted on decisions affecting the club's heritage — including the future of Old Trafford. Twenty years is long enough. Ownership should answer to the people who actually show up.

UK Parliament e-petition

Slower to approve, but real teeth: 10,000 signatures gets a government response, 100,000 gets it considered for a Commons debate.

Once either is live, send the link back and it'll get wired straight into this page so everyone using this site signs the same one — a split petition splits the signature count, and a single, growing number is what actually gets noticed.

Protect Old Trafford

Old Trafford isn't currently a listed building — nothing stops it being altered or demolished as part of a redevelopment. Getting it heritage-protected is a genuinely real, free, and separate lever to the ownership fight: it doesn't need a change of owner, a court case, or a single signature to start. Anyone can nominate it.

The case, in short Old Trafford has been United's home since 1910 — continuously, aside from 1941 to 1949 while it was rebuilt after Luftwaffe bombing during the Blitz. It's tied directly to the club's defining history, including its connection to the 1958 Munich air disaster. It's under real, current threat: the club and INEOS have confirmed plans for a new stadium as part of a wider regeneration of the site, which is exactly the "under threat of demolition or major alteration" ground that Historic England names as a priority for taking an application forward.

There's real precedent for this working. Arsenal's East Stand at Highbury was Grade II listed for its 1936 Art Deco design — and when Arsenal left for the Emirates, that listing legally forced developers to preserve the facade and the famous Marble Halls rather than demolish them. They're standing today, built into flats, because the listing made that non-negotiable. Worth being honest, though: listing protects the physical fabric — it doesn't by itself stop a club deciding to play home games somewhere else. It makes demolition or drastic alteration of what's protected legally very hard, which is real leverage, not a guarantee of "no new stadium."

Apply for listing — it's free, and anyone can do it

This isn't decided by signatures — Historic England assesses the application on architectural and historic merit, then advises the Secretary of State, who decides. You don't need to own the building. You'll need a free Historic England account, then a location plan, clear photos, and a written case for why it matters (the text above is a starting point, not a final version).

Apply on Historic England →

One application from one well-evidenced submission carries more weight than a thousand separate ones — worth coordinating who's actually submitting rather than everyone applying separately.
