Manchester United fans broke on to the Old Trafford pitch to protest against the club's ownership under the Glazer family.

United's home Premier League game against Liverpool is scheduled to kick off at 16:30 BST.

The protestors were removed from the pitch after they made their feelings known.

There also appeared to be a protest outside the hotel where the United players stayed before the game.

Thousands of United fans began a protest against the club's owners at Old Trafford this afternoon.

Scores of green and gold flares - the colours of United's first shirts when they were Newton Heath and the original anti-Glazer protests in 2010 - were set off at the start of the protest at 14:00BST.

It is understood other protesters went to the team hotel ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side's departure for this afternoon's Premier League game against Liverpool. Hundreds of fans have been on the pitch and many are now exiting through gates across a road that normally allows the team buses through.

No media are being allowed through the gates as normal until the situation is cleared.

It is reported the Premier League, who have a compliance officer on site, do not belief there is an issue about the game going ahead from a purely coronavirus perspective as there was no admission to dressing rooms.
