MANCHESTER UNITED fans marked the 20th anniversary of the Glazer ownership by announcing plans for another protest.
Supporters group ‘The 1958’ will again make their feelings known when Old Trafford stages the final home match of the season on May 25.
It is now two decades since the American family completed their controversial takeover of the Red Devils.
And a spokesman for the 1958 said their legacy is ‘greed, decay and betrayal’.
They said: “May 2005 marked one of the darkest days in the history of Manchester United.
“The Glazer family became majority shareholders – triggering a compulsory takeover that was completed in June that year.
“That moment signalled the beginning of the end for the soul and community of our once great club – sacrificed at the altar for corporate greed.
“We will march as one fanbase to make it clear that 20 years on the fire still burns red with fury and defiance. We protest, once again, at the Villa game.
“Lifelong supporters are being driven away from the club they love – priced out and pushed aside – another dagger to the heart of our football community.
“We want the Glazers out of our club. They were never welcome, they are not welcome now. They will never be welcome.”
The group said legendary former boss Alex Ferguson has been a staunch defender of the Glazer family but his success had only masked the problems.
Club legend Eric Cantona has also joined in the protest.
The Frenchman was pictured wearing an FC United of Manchester kit and bucket hat on social media.
He has done so as “Football belongs to the fans.”
United are currently enduring their worst domestic season in 51 years, although they still have the chance to salvage something by winning the Europa League.
Their statement said: “Since his retirement, the rot beneath has been laid bare for all to see — the true cost of 20 years of financial exploitation and mismanagement.
“The club is drowning in over a billion pounds of debt, our fanbase Is fractured and divide and our stadium neglected.
“All while the Glazers continue to pocket dividends, year after year, regardless of failure on the pitch.
“Old Trafford, once the Theatre of Dreams, is crumbling from decades of neglect. They’ve taken everything.”
