Manchester United fans deserve better from the team, manager Ruben Amorim said following their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Sunday after the day started with a protest from several thousand supporters outside Old Trafford.

The supporters, most of them dressed in black, marched to the stadium in protest at the club's ownership, which has been criticised for the team's poor performance on the pitch, plus rising ticket prices and job losses.

They chanted and carried banners, one of them reading: "Love United, Hate Glazers," in reference to United's American owners the Glazer family. Organised by fan organisation The 1958, the protest marked just over a year since British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe struck a deal to buy a 25% stake in the club.

"This club will never die, that is clear. You feel it in the streets. This is a big business and maybe all the fans in this league sometimes feel it is harder to go to the games and pay for tickets," Amorim said after Sunday's match.

"We want to give them a lot of effort. In the future, we will not play like that."
