Manchester United fans have been seen throwing bottles and chanting “murderers” as the Liverpool team bus made its way past the imminent protests against the club’s owners.
Anti-Glazer demonstrations are expected to be highly disruptive this evening with concerns over postponement snatching the headlines this week, and it seems disgruntled fans are already out in numbers.
Amidst chanting, flares and smoke bombs being seen outside Old Trafford, there have also been rather unsavoury scenes captured. United fans can be seen in the video below launching bottles towards the Liverpool team bus, with chants of ‘murderers’ heard in the background.

However, elsewhere the protesters have been mocked by some on the internet for being sidetracked by the arrival of new signing Casemiro, who was acquired by, you guessed it, Glazer investment.
The Manc’s biggest protest ever involves swarming their newest £60M signing to get a glimpse, queueing at the club’s megastore to buy their shirts & shouting murderers at the LFC coach.
Some protest that lads well done 👏🏼
