A Manchester United had an anti-Glazer flag confiscated before the away game against Real Sociedad in the Europa League last week.
The supporter's complaints went viral on social media and the Red Devils responded via an official statement to the Manchester Evening News, refusing to take responsibility for the incident.
The statement reads: "Man United recognises the right to peaceful and legal protest, and the club has a clear stance that anti-owner flags are not banned at Old Trafford as long as they are not offensive.
"However, we do not control the policies of clubs that host us on our travels and the decision to ban certain flags at the Reale Arena last night was made by our opponent and not Man United.
"Our stewards are instructed to act in line with the home club under the rules of the host venue, and that included a rule banning any political banners. The home club interpreted this to include anti-owner banners.
"At no point did Man United ask for or recommend this approach and we are clear to all clubs we visit that we do not advocate the confiscation of banners of this nature."
While things appear to be looking back at Man United under new manager Erik ten Hag, the anti-Glazer sentiment at the club remains as strong as ever.
