I wanted to take my nephew up, but we had a tournament the same day. I think that if you hang around, you might get an autograph or two, but it does depend on what you're asking them to sign. Manchester United has a policy NOT to sign autographs on merchandise, etc. as these do wind up on E-Bay, etc. and many do not come with certificate of authenticity. Also, these items are sold through the Megastore and they want your money.
I have previously managed to get autographs from Giggsy, Keano and that's it from modern day, though I've not tried too hard.
I did recently write to United to ask for signed photo for a raffle prize for the team I help to run, but they declined. United support many local charities and we are too far away and also, not a charity.
I did actually write to all of the PL clubs, Southend, Colchester United and Ipswich, who are the nearest football league clubs to me to ask for support. I've had replies from nearly all, but only West Ham (signed team photo), Southend (4 match tickets) and Blackburn (1st team print) sent items that we can use as prizes.
