With the Premier League letting individual clubs to determine whether to put on a to the former Prime Minister, United have plumped for to not ask followers at Old Trafford to pay for respects by way of a minuteas stop. The risk of the silence being disturbed by supporters is likely to have been central to the move, as is just a determination to separate your lives activity from politics, although the team haven't provided a reason behind the decision. Ideas by Mrs Thatcher to apply an card system for football fans in the late-1980s demonstrated very divisive and controversial, ultimately causing a groundswell of animosity towards the former Conservative party leader. Recently, Liverpool followers have been pictured with anti-Thatcher banners, with derogatory chants also aired. And with Thatcher viewed negatively in working-class towns and cities in northern England, Unitedas decision to not carry a minuteas stop will probably prevent that resistance being broadcast during any tribute.
