The demo will take place before FC United’s clash with Stockton Town.
The 1958 stress: “For over 20 years the United fanbase have been fractured. The ‘United United Day’ protest is a show of intent.
“It’s a stand for affordable football. It’s a stand for fan culture. It’s a stand for responsible ownership.
“It’s also a stand to show who the enemy really is; the Glazers. For too long Reds have been pitted against Reds. No more.
“For twenty years the Glazers have treated Manchester United as a personal cash cow, draining over £1billion from the club while lining their own pockets.
“This has led to a club in disrepair, supporters priced out, and a future under their control that looks increasingly bleak.”
United fans have stepped up their protests this year after Glazer debt hit the £1bn mark.
New co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has brutally cut costs by slashing jobs and axing funding to player charities as he feared the club would run out of money.
Ticket prices have also been raised with season tickets up 5 per cent and the cheapest single matchday seat available at £66.
