Hundreds of Manchester United fans are protesting outside Old Trafford ahead of the team’s match against Liverpool, which was postponed two weeks ago due to unrest.
There was a stronger policing presence outside the stadium on Thursday after some fans managed to get inside and stormed the pitch on May 2.
Approximately 100 supporters breached the stadium and invaded the pitch ahead of the scheduled kick-off time, leading to fears of a Covid-19 breach.
With players delayed at the Lowry Hotel due to a large fan presence outside the hotel, the game was eventually postponed.
Fans setting off flares are protesting against the owning Glazer family following the club’s part in a failed attempt to launch a European Super League last month.
Co-owner Joel Glazer has pledged to engage more with fans going forward.
Several of United's players arrived at Old Trafford more than six hours ahead of kick-off as the club looks to avoid another postponement.
