Former Leicester City and Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has told Manchester United supporters that protests against the club's ownership do not help the players on the pitch. Schmeichel, who now plays for Celtic, made the comments amid ongoing fan demonstrations at Old Trafford.
The remarks come after United fans displayed a tifo during a match on April 17 criticizing the Glazer family's ownership. Schmeichel acknowledged fans' frustration but emphasized that the atmosphere created by protests can negatively affect the team's performance.
Manchester United have experienced widespread supporter unrest in recent seasons, with organized protests targeting the club's American owners. Schmeichel's perspective adds a player's viewpoint to the debate over the impact of fan activism on matchday environments.
