Around 200 Manchester United fans managed to break into Old Trafford to protest against the Glazer family’s ownership of the club after plans for the side’s involvement in a mooted European Super League.
Man Utd’s game against Liverpool in the Premier League was postponed on Sunday after the club failed to control the uprising which caused concerns over the spread of COVID-19.
Two police officers were reportedly injured in clashes with supporters after a large gathering outside the ground before a number managed to make it onto the pitch.
These were the best tweets and jokes from the Old Trafford protest:
