Grumbles grow but ‘Chosen One’ banner stays

The contentious ‘Chosen One’ banner will remain on display at Old Trafford despite a growing clamour for it to be removed in the wake of Manchester United’s increasingly woeful season under David Moyes.

United stumbled to their sixth and perhaps most embarrassing home defeat of the season on Tuesday when they went down 3-0 to bitter rivals Manchester City.

The last time United lost so many home games in the league was in 1978. Anger followed the defeat, with one fan having to be escorted out of the south stand after approaching the dugout to vent his anger against the United manager.
