Manchester United supporters have been prominently displaying green and gold colors at the club's recent fixtures, with balloons in those hues becoming a regular feature in the stands. The visual display was noted by BBC Sport senior journalist Katharine Sharpe in a report published on November 9, 2026.
Green and gold are the historic colors of Newton Heath, the club's original name before it became Manchester United in 1902. The colors have been adopted by sections of the fanbase in previous periods as a symbol of opposition to ownership.
