The contentious 'Chosen One' banner will remain on display at Old Trafford despite a growing clamour for it to be removed in the wake of Manchester United's increasingly woeful season under David Moyes.

United stumbled to their sixth and perhaps most embarrassing home defeat of the season on Tuesday when they went down 3-0 to bitter rivals Manchester City.

The last time United lost so many home games in the league was in 1978.

Anger followed the defeat, with one fan having to be escorted out of the south stand after approaching the dugout to vent his anger against the United manager.

There were reports of fans aiming abuse at Moyes' predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson, who was sat in the directors' box.

Ferguson hand-picked Moyes from a strong field last summer.

For that reason, a banner has hung in the Stretford End that includes Moyes' face with the words 'The Chosen One' written alongside it.

Some fans have called for the group that made the banner - Stretford End Flags (SEF) - to remove it following the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool almost two weeks ago.

And more fans called for its removal on Tuesday in the wake of a third successive home derby defeat.

Stewards also gathered around the banner at full-time to prevent it from being seized.

It is understood that the SEF has no intention of taking the banner down ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League match against Aston Villa despite calls to do so on Twitter.

Although there were few - if any - boos from the home supporters who were left at the final whistle on Tuesday night, there was a noticeable lack of songs in support of Moyes.

The Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) thinks it is understandable that the club's fans are disappointed by the fact that their team now sit seventh in the table, some 18 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

"If your ego has been continuously set on success for 20 years and then to suddenly you do not have it, it's obviously going to affect you emotionally in a difficult way," MUST spokesperson Sean Bones said.

MUST thinks United's troubles do not lie solely at the feet of their manager, however.

MUST believes a lack of investment from the Glazer family since their controversial takeover in 2005 has also been a key factor in United's failures this term.

It believes the Glazers' refusal to go toe to toe with the likes of City in the transfer market has left United short on quality compared to their 'noisy' neighbours, who are now favourites for the title.

"We think the problems lie further deeper than David Moyes. They sit at the table of the Glazers," Bones said.

"The Glazers have not invested correctly at the critical times.

"The Glazers have had an element of success, but we feel that success was based on the investment made by the PLC in players like (Wayne) Rooney, (Cristiano) Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand - the very best possible players and we invested in the Class of '92 and brought them through and the Glazers got the benefit of that.

"And the problem is when you don't invest correctly at the cortical points, you get yourself into the position where there is a huge chasm of class between the ones who have invested and the ones who haven't and it costs a lot more to repair the damage.

"Sometimes it can take a long time to repair it."

MUST also thinks the Glazers made a mistake by allowing chief executive David Gill to leave the club at the same time as Ferguson.

"Last summer we had a new manager and a new CEO in Ed Woodward, he is unproven in that job as well, so it was a bad decision to allow that to happen," he said.

"They could have held on to David Gill to try to assist the smooth running of the club."

What really amaze me is that United are only 6 wins away from being top and only 2 wins away from Everton....


The way their season has gone thats not to bad.....


The big problem is they have NO midfield and Ferdinand is well past his sell by date....


Raffiel is no where near a decent right back and Cleverly is one of the most over rated players ever to play in the premier league.


Chelsea are the only ones smiling about the MATA deal as he has been non existent since joining.


Fellani isnt worth anywhere near what they paid for him and is another average player.


Fergie got the very best out of some very average players last season and in reality Chelsea and City threw the title at them.


United need at least 5 players and a couple of those need to be in the Roy Keane / Bryan Robson mould...

[Part-Timer]

Just love Chelsea fans criticising Mata now he is at Man U. The very same fans that voted him their best player 2 seasons running. The very same fans that were questioning their ignorant manager when their season started very slowly and were all wanting Mata to play

Man U problems started when Fergie kow towed to the Glazers so he could manage a few more years as long as he didn't want any big money signings.

[Tony2005]

Yes Mata was a much better player at Chelsea but he had much better players around him....


"The special one"....likes players who work the channels both ways and tackle back...Mata isnt one of these and that why he didnt fit into the plans this season.

I like Mata and was one who thought he should have played more but he just doesnt seem to have made an impact at OT yet.


With some decent signings maybe we will see the real Mata next year....

Anyway when it come to players most Chelsea fans know who the good and bad ones are ....
