Red Knights chief Harris says Man Utd fans will get season tickets back after boycott

Red Knights chief Keith Harris says Manchester United fans planning to give up their season tickets could get them back if the buyout is successful.

Harris insists the takeover is on track, with reported pledges of up to £1 billion.

"People should understand that the purpose of any takeover is to give loyal supporters part ownership of the club and give them a voice," he said.

"If there were people who were considering giving up their season tickets on account of what they've heard about the Glazers' plans from the bond issue prospectus, then in the event that our takeover was successful we're sure it could be worked out so that they regained their places.

"We'd implement a block holding of 25.1 per cent to permanently prevent another future takeover by the likes of Glazer.

"Season ticket holders would get their seats back at a lower price and become shareholders in the club.

"I've been reading about the possibility that people with corporate boxes and season tickets may actually take a stand.

"It's not about turning up late at matches - the club's already had their money. It's if those people say they're not going to renew."
