A taskforce, which includes Gary Neville and Sebastian Coe, has been created to explore leaving Old Trafford and building a new stadium. But the South Stand United group accuse United of treating season ticket holders as second class citizens.

"South Stand United argues that the club's current dealings with fans paint a markedly different picture of its purported community values," said the organisation.

"The regeneration project is a glaring contradiction. On one hand, the club is parading its future vision for Old Trafford, boasting international games and a modernised stadium. On the other, it's alienating the very fanbase that fills those seats.

"The taskforce's ambition to deliver social and economic benefits to the region is lauded in principle but South Stand United questions whether these promises will extend to the fans who are currently feeling sidelined."
