Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Liverpool was postponed on Sunday after fans invaded the Old Trafford pitch as part of a protest against United’s owners, the Glazer family.
Hundreds of fans managed to make their way into the ground, chanting “we want Glazers out.”
Large numbers of supporters had also gathered outside the stadium and there were clashes with police as they moved in to disperse the crowd.
“Following discussion between the police, the Premier League, Trafford Council and the clubs, our match against Liverpool has been postponed due to safety and security considerations around the protest today,” United said in a statement.
“Our fans are passionate about Manchester United and we completely acknowledge the right to free expression and peaceful protest.
