Following two impressive wins, Michael Carrick acknowledges the upcoming protest planned by Manchester United fans. Despite victories against Manchester City and Arsenal, propelling United into the top four, the 1958 fans' group will proceed with their demonstration. Carrick, back in charge, emphasizes his respect for the supporters and their unwavering backing, during his second spell as head coach.

The protest, expected to draw between 5,000 and 6,000 fans, is aimed at the club's ownership. The group's primary concern remains the Glazer family's ownership model, which they deem dysfunctional. Anti-Glazer sentiments have been prevalent, regardless of on-field performances. Carrick, however, focuses on the positive support within the stadium, highlighting the strong connection.

Carrick's 100% record in his second stint has improved team morale. The protest is scheduled before the Premier League match against Fulham. The focus will be on the supporters, and how the team will respond after the match. The team is trying to build on the momentum of the last few weeks.

Ultimately, the situation underscores the complex relationship between a club's ownership and its passionate fanbase. The players will need to continue to perform, and hope they can build on the last two wins. The upcoming match against Fulham becomes a test of both on-field performance and the team's ability to navigate off-field tensions.
