Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) have told club chiefs they expect an acceptable proposal over a planned fan share scheme to be forthcoming within weeks.

"We could have come to you with a proposal months ago but we didn't because we were not satisfied that it met the benchmark we had set. "Negotiations on these matters can take some time, but we can’t allow them to drag on forever, particularly as in the meantime we continue to see our club decline on
