A selection of fans have displayed their frustration at their under-fire manager by arranging for a plane to fly over Old Trafford during the lunchtime clash with Aston Villa.
A banner reading 'Wrong One - Moyes Out' has been flown over Old Trafford at the start of Manchester United's Premier League meeting with Aston Villa.
The plane flew over United's stadium just after kick-off as fans settled into their seats for the lunchtime meeting with Paul Lambert's side.
The banner represents growing supporter unrest at manager David Moyes, with the Scot overseeing a tumultuous first season with the Premier League champions having replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer.
Minutes later, a second plane, chartered by a betting firm, also flew over Old Trafford carrying a banner which read: 'FERGIE BACK IN - 6/1'.
United have already lost 10 league games this season and Tuesday's home defeat to Manchester City, their third in a row at Old Trafford against their near neighbours, seemingly compounded the anger of a selection of fans who made arrangements for Saturday's banner to take to the skies.
When asked about the planned banner protest prior to kick-off, Moyes told BT Sport: "You remain focused on the game and that's what we've done. It's going to happen.
"I think the money would have been better served putting in to Darren Fletcher's charity, I think that would have been better than paying for a plane to fly over here today."
