Manchester United Supporters Trust urge the Government to intervene as thousands of fans face travel chaos after rail strikes were announced for the day of the FA Cup final at Wembley

The Manchester United Supporters Trust has urged the Government to intervene in the rail dispute that threatens to disrupt the first ever all-Manchester FA Cup final in June.

Aslef have announced three days of fresh rail strikes, including Saturday, June 3 when United face Manchester City at Wembley.

Thousands of fans are due to make the journey down to London by train, but Avanti West Coast is one of 16 companies affected by the industrial action. Up to 13,000 train drivers will strike over the three days in May and June, bringing widespread disruption to the rail network.
