Manchester United shares have risen strongly since the opening of the New York Stock Exchange.
.
Within 15 minutes of trading this morning, they were up around 8.5% in a sign that investors believe that the plans for a lucrative European Super League will get off the ground.
However shares are still more than ten per-cent lower than their year high of $20.13 in mid-March.
The ownership of United has been a point of fierce debate and criticism since the Glazer family bought the club in 2005. A large number of fans were against the takeover at the time and some even formed FC United of Manchester in response.

In 2010, five years after the takeover, the Green and Gold protest was launched. This involved a lot of Manchester United fans wearing green and gold scarves instead of the red and white.
It was a visible protest but ultimately didn't lead anywhere beyond that visual presence in the ground.
