Manchester United needs new owners and fresh investment to halt years of decline and fans should be given a real say in how the club is run in future, the Supporters Trust MUST said.

“Our club needs new investment more than ever. That requires new ownership,” MUST, the leading fan group, said in a statement responding to news that some said would feel like winning a title if the owners left.

“Any new ownership structure must embed supporters, including a degree of fan share ownership, in their operating model.”

The news triggered jubilation and trepidation in chatrooms and fan forums at what the future might hold.
