Fans have spotted an X-rated message that was featured on Sky Sports’ live broadcast of Manchester United vs Arsenal.
On Sunday afternoon, Arsenal‘s fading hopes of winning the Premier League title took another knock after they were held to a draw at Old Trafford by United.
Bruno Fernandes scored a free-kick just before half-time to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Arsenal found their equaliser through Declan Rice in the 74th minute.
As a result of the 1-1 draw, Arsenal now trail Liverpool by 15 points with 10 games to play.
During the aftermath at Old Trafford, fans spotted an X-rated sign held up by a supporter as the players walked off the pitch.
The sign in question read: “Sell United and f*** off home.”
Prior to the match, United fans gathered outside Old Trafford as they protested against the club’s majority owners, the Glazer Family.
Seemingly, the protest continued inside the stadium as multiple signs criticising the Glazers were spotted.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “Haha Sky fully showing that Glazers f*** off home sign.”
Another tweeted: “Well done this man, “Sell United and f*** off home”. Seen by the world.”
A third fan added: “Let’s hope the Glazers saw it and for once read the room.”
Someone else wrote: “Was stunned Sky left this on for so long. Superb work from the person with the sign and absolutely correct too.”

Ruben Amorim speaks out on Manchester United fan protest
Speaking after the match, United boss Ruben Amorim was asked about the protest.
He replied: “This club will never die, that is clear. You feel it in the streets. This is a big business and maybe all the fans in this league sometimes feel it is harder to go to the games and pay for tickets.
“We want to give them a lot of effort. In the future, we will not play like that.”
United are back in action on Thursday when they take on Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16.
