And while some were able to proudly fly their flags, one group were not allowed to take in their green and yellow banner which read: “Glazers out”.
Footage of the incident quickly circulated on social media which sparked fury amongst Red Devils fans.
Supporters voiced their protests with one saying: “Glazers paid them to do that.”
Another added: “Disgusting.. being paid to crush dissent and the right to protest, shame on those two and any other clowns like them.”
And a third said: “I get they may be doing their jobs but whoever gave the memo you can’t have “glazers out” items should be held responsible. Freedom of expression.”
Another commented: “The glazers have paid off the f***ing staff. True tyrants..”
Controversial co-owner Avram Glazer made a rare appearance to watch his side take on Newcastle at Wembley.
His presence was greeted with “Glazer out” cries from United fans, while some fans online criticised club legend Sir Alex Ferguson for sitting with him.
One fan wrote: “Sir Alex should have been sitting away from these grabbers.”
Another added: “Of course Sir Alex Ferguson is sitting next to his best mates .”
And a third said: “Club Legend apparently .”
