Sources: Everton fans planning Friedkin protest in Man United clash

Everton supporters plan to protest against owners The Friedkin Group during Roma's Champions League visit to Old Trafford on 3 November.

Everton fans are reportedly planning a protest against The Friedkin Group during Roma's Champions League clash at Old Trafford next week. The US owners, who control both Everton and Roma, put the Merseysiders up for sale in early October after less than two years in charge, with an asking price estimated between £800m and £1bn.

Sources say some Everton supporters are looking to buy tickets to the 3 November match to voice their discontent. The Friedkin Group have become deeply unpopular among Toffees fans, who feel the club is constantly treated worse than their Italian counterparts. Owner Dan Friedkin has not visited Liverpool, attended an Everton match, or spoken directly to manager David Moyes since the consortium acquired the club in December 2024.

Moyes has admitted surprise at the sale announcement and frustration with transfer plans, with The Friedkin Group refusing to bolster the squad in January and only considering free transfers or loan players. Roma have thrived under the same ownership since 2020, winning the Conference League and consistently qualifying for Europe, while Everton have finished 13th twice.
