Manchester United v Liverpool postponed after fans invade Old Trafford in protest | Manchester United

Manchester United’s game with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday was postponed after a planned peaceful protest outside the stadium by fans angry with the club’s owners, the Glazers, spilled into chaotic and violent scenes as a group of about 100 broke into the ground, causing criminal damage and forcing some staff to lock themselves into rooms for safety.

The postponement of the Premier League match between the two most storied clubs in English football to an as yet undetermined date was confirmed almost five hours after supporters gathered at the stadium. It adds further uncertainty to United’s fixture list in a week when they are due to play the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Roma, and is the most graphic illustration yet of the breakdown of trust between fans and owners.

Around 1pm a crowd began gathering outside the stadium holding anti-Glazer banners and chanting against the American family, whose longstanding unpopularity with supporters was elevated by their signing up to the now defunct European Super League.

A crowd of around 200 had also gathered at the Lowry hotel in the city centre, where the team stay before matches. At the hotel the United coach was surrounded by supporters before banks of police arrived, while the number at Old Trafford swelled into thousands after 2pm.

With firecrackers being let off and with some carrying flares, a group marched toward the venue’s Munich Tunnel and by 2. 30pm security had been breached and the Old Trafford pitch invaded. There, more firecrackers were let off, flares were thrown, one individual was seen swinging on a goal and another grabbed a corner flag, while outside there were clashes with police, with two officers being injured after bottles were thrown, with one suffering a slash to his face and requiring hospital treatment.

Some inside the stadium gathered by a platform of Sky Sports, the host broadcaster, and at one point Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, the former defenders for United and Liverpool who are now pundits, spoke with a group of those who had broken in.

Some of the invaders also got into the players’ tunnel, which meant a deep clean would have been required due to Covid regulations for the match to go ahead. Neville and the former club captain Roy Keane, who was also on Sky panel, said their shared the anger and frustrations of the fans with the Glazers’ ownership of the club.

At 3pm the stadium went into lockdown: members of the media were held outside and a sweep of the stadium was required. Neither team had left their hotel yet, with Liverpool also staying in Manchester, but an hour before the scheduled 4.30pm kick-off the lineups were issued, despite uncertainty regarding whether the game could start then or even be staged at all on Sunday.

Yet while another group again breached the stadium and a further lockdown had to be enforced, some became “violent and antagonistic” in the Munich Tunnel, according to Greater Manchester police, who said officers from neighbouring forces had to be drafted in to try to gain control.

At 5.40pm the game was called off for the day, the first Premier League match postponed because of fan behaviour. The league and Football Association are expected to investigate.

The protest is the most dramatic of the turbulent Glazers’ reign. Malcolm Glazer took total control in June 2005 with a buyout that leveraged £525m of debt on to the club. Glazer died in 2014 but his sons Avram and Joel are now co-chairmen.

Fans’ anger at the Glazers control – for a perceived lack of investment in the club on and off the field and a failure to keep up with rivals Manchester City and Liverpool on the pitch – has sharpened since the announcement of the European Super League a fortnight ago. Joel Glazer was named as vice-chairman of the breakaway league when the announcement was made, and apologised to the fans in an open letter after plans for the league collapsed.

Fans of other clubs involved in the Super League project have protested, most notably at Arsenal, where thousands gathered outside the Emirates before their game with Everton to demand the removal of the ownership by Stan Kroenke, another American tycoon. But Sunday’s protest is the strongest and potentially most far-reaching yet.

“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,” read a statement from United. “Discussions will now take place with the Premier League on a revised date for the fixture.

“Our fans are passionate about Manchester United, and we completely acknowledge the right to free expression and peaceful protest. However, we regret the disruption to the team and actions which put other fans, staff, and the police in danger. We thank the police for their support and will assist them in any subsequent investigations.”

Safety issues remain a concern for the club, with the gate breached by fans who invaded the pitch still in disrepair three hours later. There were suggestions that stewards might form a human shield to prevent any further intrusions during the match, but this was rejected. With the stadium therefore not completely secured, there was no option but to postpone.

The Premier League said: “We understand and respect the strength of feeling but condemn all acts of violence, criminal damage and trespass, especially given the associated Covid-19 breaches. Fans have many channels by which to make their views known, but the actions of a minority seen today have no justification. We sympathise with the police and stewards who had to deal with a dangerous situation that should have no place in football.”

Liverpool said they were in “full agreement” with the postponement because safety could not be guaranteed. The Merseyside team and United were finally allowed to depart their hotels just before 7pm.

Russ Jackson, assistant chief constable of Greater Manchester police, said: “The behaviour displayed today by those at both Old Trafford and the Lowry hotel was reckless and dangerous. We understand the passion many supporters have for their team and we fully respect the right for peaceful protest. Plans were in place to ensure this could happen safely, but it soon became clear that many present had no intention of doing so peacefully. The actions of those today required us to take officers from front line policing and call in support from neighbouring forces to prevent the disorder getting worse.

“At different points, bottles and barriers were thrown, officers assaulted and people scaled the stadium structure creating risk for themselves and officers. We have launched an investigation and we will be working closely alongside partners to ensure we establish the full circumstances surrounding today’s events and prosecute those responsible.”

One of those who entered the pitch, who said his name was Ryan, told the news agency PA Media: “The protest went better than expected. The whole idea was to cause disruption and I believe that’s what’s been achieved. The atmosphere was unreal. I myself have spent my life idolising this club and to watch how the Glazers have used the club has angered and disappointed me. The scenes on the pitch were unreal, we achieved what we needed to and took it further by making it onto the pitch. Do I agree with causing damage? Absolutely not, but what do Manchester United really expect? They have been told for years.”

A statement from Manchester United Supporters Trust said: “The owners have taken £1bn out of the club and we have witnessed decay and decline both on the field and off it. The invasion of the stadium isn’t something we expected, and it is rumoured a gate was opened for fans, but even if that is not the case we believe the vast majority of Manchester United staff are sympathetic with the views of the fans.”

Supporter unrest at the Glazers’s ownership has been further heightened after the club’s planned membership of the now defunct European Super League. The open letter of apology from Joel Glazer seems to have been rejected by the club’s supporter base, with a group of around 20 fans having also gained access to United’s Carrington training base last month.

“This is the consequence of the owners of Manchester United’s actions two weeks ago,” Neville told Sky Sports. “There’s a general distrust and dislike of the owners, but people weren’t protesting before this happened. Generally, the Glazer family along with a number of other owners of football clubs in this country were conniving and scheming behind everyone’s back to walk away with the crown jewels. Today we’ve seen people protest at that.”

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, said: “It is important to make clear that the majority of supporters made their protest peacefully today. However, there is no excuse for the actions of a minority who injured police officers and endangered the safety of others. This could be an important moment to change football for the better. We should all condemn violence of any kind and keep the focus on the behaviour of those at the top of the game.”

Roy Curtis: ‘Egyptian magician Mo Salah could zap Solskjaer into the Old Trafford shredder’

Liverpool’s weekend meeting with Manchester United brings into the same Old Trafford orbit two high-profile Premier League figures trending in polar opposite directions.

he masterful Mo Salah, a footballer who has attained a state of grace in recent weeks, soaring to the highest rung of the football ladder, seizing the best player on the planet notch to which Lionel Messi had so long held the title deeds.

And the besieged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, an increasingly lonely and forlorn figure, a wounded leader fighting a rearguard action to rescue his credibility and salvage a reputation rapidly disappearing into the Manchester United shredder.

Salah’s devastating surge of form – “he is for sure on top of the list [of the world’s best players],” to quote Jurgen Klopp in the wake of last Saturday’s masterclass at Watford – must fill the Norwegian with a grim foreboding.

United have been consistently resolute in their backing of Solskjaer, insisting time and again that the 48-year-old retains the faith of the club’s owners and board.

History reminds us that such support can quickly unspool once a season falls into the kind of dizzying tailspin to which the Solskjaer supremacy has recently plunged.

The first turbulent weeks of October have strengthened convictions that the Ole era is dangling by a thread.

A cataclysmic sequence of events has seen footage emerge of Alex Ferguson criticise a Solskjaer team selection, and Cristiano Ronaldo throw a strop at being held in reserve, before Paul Pogba ramped up the pressure on his coach by shining a pitiless light on United’s shortcomings, insisting “we need to change”.

Pogba’s words followed Saturday’s chaotic 4-2 loss to Leicester (many feel they might have been best addressed to self), the Manchester club’s fourth loss in seven games, one that enhanced Stretford End fears that the manager simply lacks the clarity and tactical sophistication to compete with the best of his peers.

The hysteria that accompanied Ronaldo’s second coming has quickly given way to concerns that Solskjaer, for all the residual affection afforded a club legend, is not remotely strategically equipped to go head to head with Klopp, Pep Guardiola or Thomas Tuchel.

Privately, many United season ticket holders will reluctantly admit they see their coach as a lightweight liability, a manager whose flimsy back catalogue – he could not hack it at Cardiff – is now being brutally exposed.

A constant tactic for the growing number of agnostics who prosecute such an argument is to imagine any of Europe’s super clubs – Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid or PSG – compiling a coaching dream ticket.

Guardiola and Klopp would top any such ballot; Solskjaer, unproven, evidently struggling to locate a formula or an identity that might bring the best from an expensively assembled squad of huge individual talents, would not have a prayer of making even the long list.

United’s next five games are home and away ties with Atalanta which could determine their Champions League fate, along with league games against Liverpool, Spurs and Manchester City.

There has been huge supporter goodwill towards Solskjaer, a beloved Old Trafford figure and a palpably decent man, with a reluctance among fans to turn on the taps of rage which submerged Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal.

But the mood music at Old Trafford could change perceptibly over the next five days.

Tomorrow’s visit of Atalanta, Champions League quarter-finalists two years ago, is followed by Sunday’s arrival of the opponents against whom United have for so long measured themselves.

Ferguson’s famous battle cry about knocking Liverpool off their perch feels like something from a bygone era.

Klopp’s side are undefeated in the Premier League and victory on Manchester soil would not only be hugely symbolic, but it would also send them seven points clear of their biggest rivals with less than a quarter of the season complete.

Such a scenario would leave Solskjaer, the longest serving United manager not to win a trophy since Dave Sexton, teetering on the brink.

Hardly an ideal time to come face to face with the mesmerising Salah.

The Egyptian has opened this season accompanied by a gasp-of-wonder soundtrack, jaw-dropping goals in his last two club appearances against Watford and Manchester City adding to the sense of a footballer who stands alone.

Salah has scored in each of his last eight matches, while his gorgeous assist for Sadio Mane’s opener at Vicarage Road spoke of his all-round game’s constantly expanding horizons.

Should Manchester United be the latest victim reduced to a glaze-eyed impotence by Liverpool’s tousle-haired magician it might, perhaps, be an exaggeration to say it will prove immediately terminal for Solskjaer.

But, to borrow from the legendary manager whose shoes the flailing Norwegian is merely the latest to struggle to fill, it would leave Ole wobbling in excruciating discomfort on his ever slippier perch.

Man United rout Liverpool at Old Trafford

MANCHESTER, England — Wayne Rooney opened the scoring and David de Gea turned in a superb performance as Man United routed Liverpool 3-0 on Sunday to make it six wins from their last six league games. Here are three observations from Old Trafford …

A defining 12-day spell is going disastrously for Liverpool. They have already exited the Champions League courtesy of Basel. They could depart the Capital One Cup when they face Bournemouth. Their next league opponents are Arsenal. They threaten to go into free fall.

Having finished 20 points ahead of Manchester United last season, they are now 10 behind them. And, lest it be forgotten, this is a United side that made their worst start to a season in the Premier League era.

Now, Louis van Gaal’s side are on course for a top-three finish after reeling off six straight wins. Having lost 3-0 to Liverpool in March, they won by the same score on Sunday thanks to goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie. Not that United were particularly impressive; the damning element for Liverpool is that they did not need to be.

There were moments when Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Marouane Fellaini resorted to some rudimentary and illegal methods to halt Liverpool runners. Evans almost gifted the visitors a goal, too. The only truly convincing member of their rearguard is David de Gea, who produced another outstanding display.

He won a personal duel with Liverpool’s makeshift striker — Brendan Rodgers had decided to start without a professional centre-forward — whenever Raheem Sterling showed his capacity to find space in the United box. The 20-year-old just wasn’t clinical when presented with chances. Four times De Gea denied him; the first came seconds before United broke away and scored their opener. Rooney’s finish was altogether more composed and just as assured as Antonio Valencia’s cutback.

On the fourth occasion, Evans provided a defence-splitting pass — sadly for him, it split his own defence — and Sterling, through on goal, still could not defeat De Gea.

Liverpool made mistakes and suffered from misfortune. Mata should have been flagged offside when he headed in Rooney’s cross because Van Persie had flicked it on. Liverpool are out of form and out of luck. Yet it is hard to sympathise when they make errors as embarrassing as Dejan Lovren’s. The 20 million-pound man’s mis-kick allowed Mata to set up Van Persie for the easy third goal.

The costly Croatian started in a new shape as both managers had begun with a back three, a rarity in this fixture. Louis van Gaal is starting to get results with the formation he deployed at Arsenal and Southampton, while Rodgers, who abandoned his no-striker policy to bring on Mario Balotelli, is not. Whatever he’s trying isn’t working.

2. Rodgers’ decisions backfire again

For the second time in 2014, Rodgers made major decisions ahead of a trip to Old Trafford. In March, he selected Sterling at the tip of a midfield diamond. This time he named the 20-year-old as a lone striker, but made an even more telling switch at the other end.

The Northern Irishman suggested before the game that Simon Mignolet was rested. It may have been the diplomatic explanation and it may have been accepted in another fixture, but players are not rested for Manchester United against Liverpool. They are dropped. It is as simple as that. After a wretched season to date, Mignolet lost his place.

Enter Brad Jones. It did not prove an inspired move as the Australian conceded before he saved a shot. Indeed, it hardly reflected well on him that he dived the wrong way when Rooney put United ahead. Even Mignolet sometimes guesses right. If the second goal was not his fault, he fell over seconds before Van Persie scored the third. He looked every bit a stopgap stopper.

The very fact that he played was another indication of Liverpool’s poor planning. They recruited nine players in the summer but no goalkeeper. Other clubs have distinctly better second-choice keepers. Chelsea’s deputy, Petr Cech, is one of the best in the league in his own right. Arsenal signed a World Cup quarterfinalist in Colombia’s David Ospina. Tottenham have Michel Vorm, Manchester City Willy Caballero and even Crystal Palace the underrated Wayne Hennessey. Liverpool have Jones, who wouldn’t get on the bench at any of those clubs.

A goalkeeper should be on their January shopping list but as they also need a centre-back and a striker, that list is looking rather crowded. But as United have perhaps the best goalkeeper in the division, the value of a superb shot-stopper was clearly illustrated.

3. United win thanks to ‘old’ signings

Should United finish in the top four, as looks increasingly likely, expect to hear the suggestion that England’s biggest spenders have bought their way back into the Champions League. Yet Sunday’s win owed nothing to their record spend — 152 million pounds ($238 million) — in the summer of 2014.

Consider the starting 11. These were all players Van Gaal inherited: two graduates of the youth system, two of David Moyes’ signings and seven players purchased by Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in attendance. The out-of-favour pair of Ander Herrera and Radamel Falcao began on the bench — although both made cameo appearances — while Marcos Rojo, who was hurt in training on Saturday, joined Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind and Luke Shaw on the injured list.

These were the players Moyes had last season, albeit assembled in a different formation and coached by a more skilled tactician. That Moyes’ last meeting with Liverpool ended in the most emphatic of 3-0 defeats and Van Gaal’s first competitive clash resulted in a competitive win highlighted the difference in the two eras.

The Dutchman is proving adept at finding uses for his predecessors’ players. In one case, for Moyes’ most-maligned buy.

Fellaini endured an awful start against Liverpool and was dreadful at Southampton on Monday but has proved a useful player for Van Gaal in his own, ungainly way. Ashley Young has let no one down during his recent run at left wing-back or even left-back, and Valencia, another of the wingers who performed so dismally for Moyes, set up Rooney’s goal.

Rodgers can argue that his team, too, was comprised largely of last season’s players as only three newcomers started (even that is more than the one, Rickie Lambert, who began against Ludogorets last month). Yet that is another sign of bad buying rather than the resourcefulness to prosper with the existing staff.

Liverpool beat Everton 5-2.The most productive derby in 86 years summed up the work of the Toffees’ manager Marko Silva. Everton’s management fired the Portuguese specialist the morning after the game. Former Merseyside club legend Duncan Ferguson has been named interim head coach. Already in the first match, the Scotsman put the whole Goodison Park on the ears, leaving no chances for Chelsea (3: 1). It is interesting that Ferguson’s “toffee” will go to Old Trafford in the next round. Of course, the great Sir Alex and Duncan are just namesakes, but you must admit that the story is going to be interesting.

Liverpool’s new record

Having brutally dealt with neighbors, Liverpool simultaneously set a new club record. The Reds achieved a 32-game unbeaten run for the first time in their 127-year history.

Arsenal’s mystical series

Writes new pages of history and London Arsenal. True, with a minus sign. The Gunners have not had such a terrible streak without victories for 42 years. It is a phenomenal coincidence that the club’s current acting head coach, Freddie Ljungberg, was born during that famous unsuccessful cycle.Let me remind you that the Swede took up his duties last week, replacing Unai Emery. Mystic.

Manchester is red

The Mancunian derby is in the hands of the Red Devils. Solskjaer outplayed Guardiola tactically. The Catalan was unable to equally respond to the pre-match findings of the Norwegian. And during the match, Pep’s most successful action was the forced replacement of Stones by Otamendi. It is difficult to understand what is happening with Guardiola lately: hovering in the clouds and confusing the name of his team at press conferences, talking about resignation … I will not reflect on the life and actions of the Catalan mentor outside the football arena.Of course, maybe he just has a creative crisis. However, I will not rule out the fact that we are witnessing the decline of Guardiola’s Mancunian Empire.

What to watch next weekend?

The centerpiece of the tour will take place at the Emirates, where the local Gunners will be hosting Manchester City. Bookmakers consider the guests to be the favorites of the evening: the coefficient is 1.5 against 5.65 – on the side of the hosts.

The meeting at Molinho is also of great interest. The cunning fox Mourinho with his Tottenham will come there to the Midland Wolves.Even experts are wary of making predictions for this meeting. Do not forget that Spurs play poorly on foreign fields this season.

Also, we will highlight the meeting at Stamford Bridge. In Fulham, two teams in crisis will play against each other. Chelsea have lost three of their last four meetings and Bournemouth have lost five in a row. Of course, Chelsea’s victory is expected, but the Southerners have nowhere to retreat. Sailing across the English Channel is not an option.

Schedule 17th round:

14.12: Liverpool v Watford, Burnley v Newcastle United, Chelsea v Bournemouth, Leicester City v Norwich City, Sheffield United v Aston Villa, Southampton – West Ham United

15.12: Manchester United v Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal v Manchester City

Manchester United statement on fan riots that broke through at Old Trafford

Manchester United have issued a statement in connection with the fan protest at Old Trafford. The actions of the fans led to the postponement of the match of the 34th round of the Premier League against Liverpool.

“Many fans wanted to exercise their right to protest and peacefully express their position. However, some intended to disrupt the team’s preparation and the game itself, as evidenced by their actions at the Lowry Hotel, as well as at the stadium.Social media reports that protesters were able to enter the stadium and field through gates opened by club staff are completely incorrect.

After breaking through the barriers and security posts in the square in front of the stadium, some protesters climbed over the gate at the end of the Munich Tunnel, broke the side door on the stand, and then opened the outer door, allowing others to enter the lobby and the field. Then one of the protesters knocked down the disabled elevator door, which allowed a group of people to come to the podium.

HOUR BACK

Most of our fans condemn the criminal damage caused by the rebels, as well as any violence against club staff, police or other fans. Now the police are in charge. The club does not want peaceful protesters to be punished, but will work with the police to identify individuals involved in criminal activity. The club will also apply its own sanctions to all identified season ticket holders or members of the club, “- said in a statement on the official website of” Manchester United “.

• Manchester United fans have long opposed the Glazers, but after unsuccessful flirting with the Super League, protests flared up with renewed vigor.
• The Glazer family has been driving the Mancunians since May 13, 2005, when Malcolm Glazer bought a controlling stake (50% + 1 share) of the club’s shares for $ 1.47 billion.
• Three days later, he already owned 75% of the shares, which automatically gave him full control over the club. 90 091

Klopp will finally win at Old Trafford: forecast for the match Manchester United – Liverpool – 13.05.2021

Manchester United were forced to play as reservists against Leicester and almost resisted. By the break, Greenwood leveled the score, and everything was decided only by Seyunju’s goal from a corner.Moreover, the Mancunians could have avoided it if Solskjaer had not made a replacement right before that. Leicester defender scored from under Rashford. The Norwegian coach was criticized for his starting lineup, but Solskjaer had nowhere to go: you can’t play the same base every two days. Moreover, the second place in the Premier League of Man United is almost guaranteed.

Liverpool last played on 8 May and should be more recent. Klopp still hopes to make it to the top 4, although the chances are vanishingly small. Even if the Reds win today, there will still be 4 points before Chelsea, which is almost impossible to win back in the last two rounds.Nevertheless, Liverpool will fight to the last, especially today, a meeting with their historically main rival. In the last round, the Merseysiders dealt with Southampton 2: 0, finally breaking a streak of three draws.

Man United remain without McGuire as the leading defender in injury, but it is hoped that he will be ready for the Europa League final. Liverpool have added Kabak and Milner to the list of injured players, while the inexperienced pair Phillips and Williams will be in the center of defense. Interestingly, Solskjaer has never beaten Liverpool in the league (there is still one FA Cup win), and Liverpool itself has long been unable to win at Old Trafford – since March 2014.It seems that this series will be interrupted today, the victory is now more necessary for Klopp’s team. For this event, BC “Fonbet” gives a coefficient of 2.35.

Another tempting option is to play on possession. It is known that Solskjaer is comfortable playing number two, even at home. Liverpool, on the other hand, usually wants to take the initiative and are not averse to rolling the ball. Especially when there is such a creative person as Thiago in the center of the field. In their last 8 games with Man United, Klopp’s side had more possession, usually over 60 percent.Bookmaker 1X The bet gives the odds 1.83 on the total over 54.5%. In 7 out of 8 cases, this bet passed, so we choose this option.

Trent Alexander-ArnoldTrent Alexander-Arnold) – English footballer, central midfielder, graduate of Liverpool.

Liverpool native Trent has been in the club’s system since the age of six and captained the Reds for the U16 and U18 teams. In the preseason games ahead of the 2016/2017 campaign, head coach Jurgen Klopp used the player as a right-back and Trent was so good that he was included in the squad for the first Premier League match against Arsenal even before the article about him appeared in Wikipedia.

Trent made his first line-up debut at Liverpool on 25 October 2016 in a League Cup match against Tottenham. Until the end of the season, he managed to play in 12 matches, including from the start in the Premier League match against Manchester United.

Following an impressive preseason and Nathaniel Cline’s injury, Trent started the 2017/2018 season as the team’s main right-back. In the Champions League qualifying match against Hoffenheim on 15 August, he scored his first goal for the Reds. Having fought for the position with Joe Gomez, by the second half of the season, Trent was entrenched in the squad, and even after Kline’s recovery, he continued to play in the base.He played a significant role in the Reds’ European campaign and helped the team reach the final, where he successfully played against Cristiano Ronaldo. Liverpool, however, lost 3-1 to Real Madrid.

In the summer of 2018, after such a successful season, Trent received his first call to the main squad of the England national team. He played in the last friendly match of the “three lions” before the World Cup on June 7 and took part in one of the national team’s matches at the World Cup in Russia (in a group match against Belgium, which no longer decided the issue of reaching the playoffs).
