If he reaches his target, Chris will gets a United badge tattooed on his forearm.
The 45-year-old told the Manchester Evening News: "I wanted to raise some money to thank them and this idea just popped into my head.
"I’m not in shape to run a marathon and I couldn’t think of anything more personally painful than a United tattoo on me for the rest of my life."
He is promising the tattoo will be the size of a jam jar lid.
He added: "I have no other tattoos, so this is going to be quite a thing.
"I didn’t want it to be hidden away, so I’m committed to it being on my forearm so it is obvious.
"Some of my City-supporting friends have refused to pay, unless I reach my target, so it looks like I’ll be appealing to those devious United fans to help me."
