Manchester United coach Phil Neville has backed a permanent singing section at Old Trafford.

The section will be in operation again for Sunday's Barclays Premier League encounter with Fulham after a successful trial in the Champions League encounter with Real Sociedad earlier this season.

"In an ideal world, you want the whole stadium singing, all 75,000 people, but let's be realistic," said Neville.

"If the singing area can become permanent, that can act as a catalyst for other areas of the stadium.

"The club are doing the utmost to help give fans what they want. It comes from the fans but the club are listening.

"I read the fanzines and see that this has been building in momentum for some time. I'm glad it has come to this."
