A handful of adventurous Manchester United supporters who climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania have sent a defiant message to the club’s owners from the world’s tallest freestanding mountain.
Reds fans have been increasing their calls for the Glazer family to sell the club due to their displeasure over their operations. A number of anti-Glazer protests have already taken place again this season, with supporters vowing to continue these until the owners are gone.
United followers were encouraged to learn of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s active interest in a potential takeover last month. The British billionaire and United fan revealed he would be willing to buy a share in the club with the view of a long-term entire takeover.

This came after reports emerged claiming the Glazer family were considering selling a minority stake in the club. A growing number of fans are becoming more vocal about their demand to see the Americans sell up.
Many don the famous yellow and green scarves and banners in protest - and the supporters who scaled the dormant volcano Kilimanjaro are no different. The explorers climbed the full 5,898 metres to literally take their protests to new heights.
Twitter user @jayjuni shared an image from Africa’s highest point which showed two United fans holding up a #GlazersOut banner. He wrote: “Lifetime achievement climbing Kilimanjaro in Tanzania world's tallest freestanding mountain sending a big message to @manutd.”
The photo received plaudits from many fellow United followers who are also championing the cause to oust the Glazers. “Love the commitment,” one commented while another mused: “That surely is the world record of the highest shout of #GlazersOut”
