Manchester United fans send message to Glazers over Old Trafford redevelopment and share scheme

Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) have told club chiefs they expect an acceptable proposal over a planned fan share scheme to be forthcoming within weeks.

The trust contacted members on Tuesday to issue an update on the scheme, which was put forward by co-chairman Joel Glazer last summer as he vowed to improve communication with fans after the European Super League (ESL) debacle.

"We could have come to you with a proposal months ago but we didn't because we were not satisfied that it met the benchmark we had set. "Negotiations on these matters can take some time, but we can’t allow them to drag on forever, particularly as in the meantime we continue to see our club decline on
