Milan midfielder David Beckham is expected to be invited to become the figurehead of the Manchester United fans' protest to oust the Glazers from the club ownership.
The American owners have taken a fair amount of stick from the fans, owing to the debt accumulated by the club in recent years.
Despite the current owners explicitly stating that the club is not for sale, fans have continued in their protest by wearing green and gold scarves as a sign of resilience.
Beckham was recently seen sporting one following the Champions League game between the Red Devils and the Rossoneri, leading to speculation that the former United player was in favour of the campaign to see the Glazers sell the club to the Red Knights.
However, the 34-year-old quickly distanced himself from the speculation, explaining that the protest was not his business. But Manchester United Supporters' Trust are expected to formally ask the former Red Devil to join the movement.
MUST chief executive officer Duncan Drasdo said: "The gesture David Beckham made by putting on the green and gold scarf sent a powerful message to all United fans. Imagine what it would do if he now got fully behind the campaign."
It has been speculated that MUST will also ask another United legend, Eric Cantona, to join in support of their cause.
