The Man U fans are worried about him buying 90.1% of the shares, and then he has the right to automatically buy the rest, if he does that he can transfer the debt to the club, and if things go bad he can just walk away (if Man U is doing bad and the Bucs good, why would he sell the Bucs?). They will not be able to Match Chelsea, Ferguson is losing his touch, the fans didn't even stick around after the final home game so the players could give them the lap of honour and clap for their support during the season.
And quite frankly buying a football club for that much money doesn't really make that much sense (specially a decaing one), he could have bought Totenham, and had a few hundred millions left to spend on players. To become more vaaluable than he payed for them they will have to do the same as they did in the 90's, and with Chelsea and Arsenal there, this is not going to happen.
The fans are not against him because he is American as you think, but because their afraid for their club, it's as simple as that. It's not like this guy just walked in with 10 billion dollars like Abramovich, he doesn't actually have the money to buy the club, all it seems like he has is the capability to get them in a huge debt
