Inter Milan wing-back Ashley Young understands Manchester United supporters being angry after Sunday's protest against the club's Glazer owners.

Former United captain Young, who made 261 appearances for the club from 2011-20, insists the club's fanbase have long been unhappy with the Glazers' 16-year reign and Sunday's events were not just a result of the failed Super League plot.

"A lot was said about it happening because of the Super League, but I know United fans and that's not just what it was," Young told Sky Sports.

"This is going back years and years with the owners, and the fans want to make their point. Obviously, you don't want to see a protest getting violent, you just want to see a protest where [the owners] are aware and that they understand the anger the fans have got about things that have gone on in the past.

"It's not right to see the violence in it, but the protesting is something the fans wanted to do and they wanted to have their voices heard.

"I don't think I'll comment too much about it, but maybe for the owners they'll see what the fans are saying, they'll see that anger and they'll see how upset they are.

"United fans have been asking for change for a long while, so maybe we'll see changes, maybe we won't. I think there's a lot of things in football that need to be addressed and that is one of them."
