Former Stone Rose now Primal Scream bassist Mani has apparently pulled out of playing a DJ set at Glastonbury in support of Man United fans angry about the takeover by new owner Malcolm Glazer. Mani told Conrad Murray of 6Music that it was because he was booked to appear in a venue sponsored by Budweiser, one of the companies on a product list being boycotted by the Man U fans in protest at the new ownership. Mani said "I'm not having anything to do with Budweiser or any of the other United sponsors until they stand up to Glazer and help get him out of our club. I love Glastonbury and I was looking to forward to DJing there again but there's no way I'm doing it if Budweiser are involved."
The guitarist also said that he will lend support to a new football club set up by the disillusioned fans and plans to put together a super group of Man United supporting band members to release a single. Mani can be heard talking up those plans this Wednesday evening on BBC GMR's Manchester Music Show or online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester
