Recent Manchester United matches have seen some fans decked in gold and green scarves, kits and hats, often accompanied by hundreds of gold and green balloons.

A stark contrast from United's famous red tones, fans have been using the colours to protest against their club's current ownership.

Six fan groups encouraged members to bring green and gold 'balloons, scarves and shirts' to United's home game against Aston Villa on Sunday, with a similar display present at Old Trafford in their Champions League fixture against Roma, in a bid to increase the pressure on the club's owners.
