MANCHESTER UNITED fans are threatening to #EmptyOldTrafford in another anti-Glazers protest before a game with Liverpool.
The hashtag has been circulated among Red Devils fans on social media.

One wrote: “Enough is enough. #EmptyOldTrafford #GlazersOut #GlazersSellUnited”

And a third added: “My seat will be empty for the Liverpool game! Let’s get this happening, the time is NOW!! #EmptyOldTrafford”
