United protest will fade and die


MANCHESTER UNITED chief executive David Gill believes the green and gold movement will die out at Old Trafford.

United fans are attending games in increasing numbers decked out in the colours to protest against the way the Glazers are running the club.

But Gill insists the supporters will eventually realise the American owners are doing a good job.

The 52-year-old said: "The green and gold campaign and the momentum behind it can get a bit tiring.

"We understand people's desire to protest and I think it is a minority. It's a visible minority in the stadium.

"Would we prefer not to have the green and gold scarve? Yes.

"They have a right to protest. A lot of the fans clearly care about the club and that is a strength.

"But a lot of the other fans want to know that the team is playing attractive football, exciting Manchester United-style football, winning football.

"Who owns it is a bit irrelevant to them.

"I think that the green and gold minority will go away. A lot of people understand what it means but a lot of them don't."
