David Moyes Airplane Flyover Protest Is Ready to Go, Banner Printed Up
Talk of a David Moyes airplane flyover protest appears to have been borne out, with ITV News tweeting a picture of the plane and its message "Wrong one—Moyes out":

A group of United fans have paid for a plane to go over Old Trafford during Saturday's match against Aston Villa.
The protest indicates a mounting frustration amongst United supporters at the disappointing season the club have endured under Moyes.
But the Scot, speaking in his weekly press conference, insisted that there was a rebuilding job to be done and that he was the man to do it.
"More from Moyes: “I’m more driven than ever to succeed. I want the team to turn around and I want to change the position we’re in.” #mufc

Manchester United's next major test comes against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, when they host the German and European champions in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final—it is the last competition that Moyes' side are still in with a chance of winning.
The protest is not universally popular, however—101 Great Goals have an interesting round-up of views on the plans on Twitter, while The Times' journalist Oliver Kay came at the protests from a different angle:
"£550m+ drained from MUFC accounts to prop up Glazer empire since 2005. Isn't that more protest-worthy than an admittedly struggling manager?
