About this deal

The 5-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, the 1-1 draw with Villa and routine 3-0 defeat of West Ham in February were not televised and the humdinger of a win in Milan, as well as a limp loss at Everton, barely mentioned or broadcast the anti-Glazer militants in the unseen away ends. A Wembley League Cup final, with 28,000 United fans in attendance and joint-broadcast by the BBC, was ripe for worldwide exposure. But the season was over and the owners had weathered the storm. United only missed out on an unprecedented fourth consecutive championship by a point; stung by appalling refereeing decisions in both defeats to Chelsea.

Avram Glazer returned 11 days after the 4-0 stroll against Milan for the win over Liverpool and was joined by Joel, against Tottenham in April. Only the ash cloud eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland prevented any of them from attending the final home match with Stoke.Come full-time, those recently-bought scarves swirled triumphantly in the stands and the movement had officially taken off. A fixture quirk meant United would not play at home in a live televised game again until the Champions League return leg with AC Milan on March 10, to be shown on terrestrial channel ITV. But many think it will be necessary if any bid to oust the Glazers is to succeed. They say United is not for sale, that they are in it for the long term. The fear is that they believe they can turn Manchester United into even more of a cash cow over the seven-year bond period – whether by selling their own overseas rights, exploiting new media or contemplating the promised land of a European super league. Certainly the other memorable image of last night – Avram Glazer laughing as the banners went up around him and the chants got louder – did not suggest they feel unduly threatened.

The United mutineers have tweaked sinister songs to accommodate the names of Woodward and the Glazers. Neither Woodward nor any of the six siblings listed on the United board of directors were present for the post-Ferguson nadir against Burnley. Avram Glazer is the only member of the Tampa-based family to have attended a match all season.On an eclectic list that includes Richard Wilson, Terry Hall, Ian McShane, Pete Boyle and Harry Gregg, Solskjaer is listed as a patron of MUST. His bio does not appear to have been updated in around 15 years and still carries a quote that perhaps compromises Solskjaer, from February 2005: The reasoning behind the colour of the scarves is that before Manchester United became Manchester United, the club was called Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club. Founded in 1878, their kits were green and gold and the club would become United in 1902. Patrice Evra was more diplomatic. "They are the original colours of Manchester United and the fans wear them because they love this club. They have their reasons for doing it and we don’t think that they’re crazy. They’d like things to change." A club spokesperson said United took 'into consideration the young players emerging through the ranks at the club, and we have not chosen to pursue the transfer'. Ferguson's assistant, Mike Phelan, contradicted the club's statement and blamed work permit problems. There's a way of..." Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had started the sentence but never finished it on Wednesday evening. It was in response to a query about the mutinous chants focused on the United owners, the Glazer family, and the club's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
