Four more Manchester United fans have admitted their involvement in a huge disturbance at Old Trafford which led to Liverpool FC's match being postponed.
The protest was held ahead of a behind closed doors match between United and Liverpool on Sunday, May 2, which had been due to kick off at 4.30pm. Flares and bottles were thrown, according to police, and the game was postponed on safety grounds following discussions between both clubs, the police, the Premier League and Trafford Council. A further four men are now due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to criminal offences in relation to the large scale disturbance. The game at Old Trafford in May last year was postponed after Manchester United protestors broke into the ground and invaded the pitch.
