Manchester United fans protesting against the club’s ownership took to the Old Trafford pitch.
Hundreds of fans invaded the stadium ahead of the behind-closed-doors Premier League contest against arch-rivals Liverpool.
United supporters were expressing their anger following plans backed by the Glazer family to join a proposed European Super League, which collapsed soon after.
The plans added to years of discontent and protests from supporters following the controversial takeover by the Glazers in 2005.
