Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson can't see fans boycotting Old Trafford. The Red Knights consortium is trying to buy Manchester United from the Glazer family.

And their leader, Keith Harris, wants supporters to pile pressure on the Glazers by not going to games.

United boss Ferguson said: "Now that is a great idea! That's come from an intelligent guy, has it? No chance."

Fans already protest by wearing green and gold scarves. Fergie said: "I don't mind them protesting.

"What would be an issue for me is if it resulted in the team being affected by it, but I don't think it will. As long as they're supporting Manchester United, they can wear what they bloody like!"
