Disgruntled Manchester United fans have chartered a plane to fly over Old Trafford on Saturday demanding ‘Moyes Out’.

The plane is scheduled to fly over the ground for ten minutes before kick-off and then for the first five minutes of the game against Aston Villa.

The supporters have confirmed it will tow a banner which reads: “Wrong One: Moyes Out.”

It is a reference to the ‘Chosen One’ banner hanging from the balcony of the top tier of the Stretford End.

Stewards reportedly stopped fans trying to remove it during the crushing derby defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday night.

On Thursday the MEN revealed that the fans were trying to raise the £840 to charter the plane and now they have confirmed they have received enough donations to pay for the flight.

A statement from the fans on the Red Issue website said the decision was "borne out of accute frustration - frustration at the poor results, lack of fight on the pitch and the unavoidable signs the David Moyes isn’t up to the highest standards required to manage Manchester United Football Club. A significant proportion of Manchester United fans have had enough and unequivocally want David Moyes sacked.”

Their air-borne message is to ‘directly counter’ the ‘Chosen One’ banner in the Stretford End which they regard as ‘ludicrously premature’.

It continues: “This isn’t a reaction because we aren’t getting our own way in terms of winning games. There is neither sufficient time or space to list the unwanted records set by the club this season under Moyes’ stewardship. We cannot have a manager who thinks it is acceptable to call our major rivals ‘favourites’ when they play us at Old Trafford.

“It is a betrayal of this club’s ethos, a betrayal of the players and a betrayal of the fans' support. We want a manager who understands and embraces our attacking traditions and has a vision of confidence for the future, not a manager who seems to be completely disassociated and visibly uncomfortable with the fact that he is Manchester United manager.”
