Manchester United and Liverpool supporters have put their long-standing rivalry aside to demand tougher ownership rules for English clubs.
With both clubs currently up for sale, their biggest fan representative groups have issued a joint statement urging government ministers to include a robust club owners and directors test in a forthcoming white paper.
Draft legislation on football governance is expected to be published next month and is expected to propose a new independent regulator for the English game.
