Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is backing supporters as they seek fan ownership of the team.

Many Red Devils supporters are unhappy with the club's owning family, the Glazers.

A scheme is being set up by the Manchester United Supporters Trust, or MUST, that would give supporters a chance to buy into a new class of shares set up by the Glazer family.

Cantona added his voice to the debate, saying in an advert, per Goal.com: "Yes my friends, I have signed for United again."

MUST announced the Frenchman as the first person to sign up for the initiative.
