Fans of the Red Devils could have a unique way to support their team as an original Manchester United sign from the ground comes up for auction.

The six-foot-high red lettering was displayed at the Stretford End of the Old Trafford ground until its redevelopment in 1992.

Said to have been gifted to former manager Sir Matt Busby's barber at the time, it is now held by a private collector and carries an estimated value of £40,000-£60,000.

Also featured are three pairs of Cristiano Ronaldo boots, including a prototype featuring the earliest CR7 branding, which BUDDS auction says were sourced from a former Manchester United kit cleaner who served the club for approximately 40 years. Estimates for these range from £4,000 to £15,000.

BUDDS will hold their "Made in Manchester" sale on April 28.
