Manchester United supporters appeared to make their feelings about the club's proposed new stadium clear during Sunday's 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.
Footage shared on social media captured fans directing an expletive-laden chant at the plans, as debate continues over whether Old Trafford should be replaced.
Man Utd fans sing against new Old Trafford stadium plans vs Bournemouth
United supporters were heard singing “You can stick your new stadium up your a***” during the defeat at Old Trafford, with the chant sung to the tune of ‘She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain'.
The footage has circulated online as the club consults supporters over its proposed £2bn, 100,000-seat stadium, which would be built next to the existing ground.
United have also just launched a new fan survey to gather views on the design, with questions covering atmosphere, heritage, accessibility, affordability and the wider matchday experience.
The proposed development forms part of the wider Trafford Wharfside regeneration project, which includes plans for 15,000 homes and 48,000 jobs. The club is targeting an operational stadium by 2035.
However, the chant underlines the strength of feeling among at least some supporters who remain attached to Old Trafford and are reluctant to see the historic ground replaced.
The footage does not establish how widespread opposition to the new stadium is across the fanbase, with views on the project remaining divided.
FGG says: Man Utd fans' new stadium chant speaks volumes
The chant was short, but it highlighted an important challenge for United, as several supporters have an emotional connection to Old Trafford that cannot simply be replaced by a bigger, newer stadium.
The club's consultation gives fans an opportunity to make their views heard, and that feedback must be taken seriously as plans develop.
United must now show that a new home can preserve the atmosphere, history and identity that make Old Trafford special.
