Manchester United will make a round of honor after the last home game against Brentford, although it gives the fans a chance to vent their frustration. Interim coach Ralph Rangnick will take over his last game at Old Trafford and there will be farewells for several United players who will leave the club this summer. United know how to get a round of honor – or appreciation – after a desperately disappointing season. They have to win all three remaining matches to equalize their lowest points in the Premier League. Manchester United will make a round of honor after the last home game against Brentford But the club also knows that its players will be accused of snooping on fans if they do not recognize them in some way after the match. A protest against Glazer is scheduled for the third consecutive home game, with protesters being called in for an hour before the start and then leaving their seats in the 73rd minute – boycotting the last 17 minutes to mark 17 years of ownership. of Glazer. Ironically, this means that some fans may not be on the pitch to use the honorary round as an opportunity to continue their protest. United know how to get a round of honor after a disappointing season But the club also knows they will be accused of snooping on supporters if they do not. The long-standing dislike for the American owners has rekindled in recent weeks, but the United players have not escaped the wrath of the fans. A banner reading “Shame – you can not wear the shirt” appeared at Old Trafford and at the club’s training ground in Carrington, and a similar chant was heard on the pitch. In January, a huge banner appeared before the FA Cup match against Aston Villa with the word “Standards” under the images of Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Bryan Robson. Fans also turned to Paul Pogba when he was substituted against Norwich last month. Pogba will miss the match against Brentford due to injury and it remains to be seen if he will join his teammates on the field after Monday’s match. United’s 89 89m record is set to go on sale next month alongside Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani. The game also marks the last game of interim coach Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford Jesse Lingard has also terminated his contract, but new United manager Eric Ten Hague could try to persuade him to stay. There is no guarantee that Cristiano Ronaldo will be at the club next season, while Dean Henderson, Eric Bailly, Anthony Martial, Phil Jones and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could all move on. A player on Ten Hague’s radar could be Christian Eriksen, who has been targeted by the club on three occasions. Eriksen’s form since moving to Brentford in January has been remarkable, with the Bees winning five and drawing in one of the six games he has started. Ten Hague saw Eriksen up close when he trained with Ajax youth before moving to Brentford. The Bees hope to keep him, while Tottenham boss Antonio Conte praised Eriksen’s form. The couple won the Serie A title at Inter in 2021 together.
