Manchester United and Liverpool fans could launch an incredible
joint protest against their American owners.
Supporters from the arch rivals are rumoured to be plotting an
'unholy alliance' when they collide at Old Trafford next month.

The two sets of fans are prepared to put aside their bitter
rivalry in a stunning combined backlash against the men who run
their clubs.
Discussions on the move have already taken place between key fan
groups, according to the Manchester Evening News.
United supporters are raging over the level of debt that has
accumulated under the Glazers despite their huge success on the
field in recent seasons.

Liverpool, who have struggled on the pitch this season, are also
heavily in debt under the stewardship of co-owners George Gillett
and Tom Hicks.
Although any joint protest has yet to be finalised, it is
expected that United and Liverpool fans will perform the
unthinkable at their showdown on March 21.
It is highly unlikely that the two sets of fans would march
together outside the ground thanks to their huge rivalry. Instead,
the protests would be confined to inside Old Trafford with huge
banners and chants.

A source told the Manchester Evening News: 'There have been
talks and certain groups from both sides are up for it.
'It just shows what state football in this country is in when
two of its biggest rivals are talking about joining together.
'It's a massively sensitive issue and whether it will happen at
this match, I don't know.'
