Ferguson is involved in a dispute with shareholder John Magnier
|
Manchester United have asked their supporters to call off any planned protests against club shareholders John Magnier and JP McManus.
Disturbances occurred at Hereford's race meeting last Friday thanks to the Manchester Education Committee (MEC).
But planned protests at two meetings on Saturday failed to materialise.
"While the board understands the fans' concerns, it cannot possibly condone any disruptive or criminal activity," said a United spokesman.
"We would urge all fans to refrain from such action because this will do damage to the reputation of the club," he told the Racing Post newspaper.
Sandown were bracing themselves for trouble on Saturday after McManus' Baracouda won the big handicap hurdle, but it passed off without incident.
Magnier is currently involved in a dispute with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson over the stud rights to racehorse Rock of Gibraltar.
