Fans invade pitch and damage equipment at Old Trafford!

The match between Man Utd and Liverpool may not take place at 17:30 CEST this Sunday. 

Hundreds of United supporters broke into Old Trafford and stormed the pitch to protest against the Glazers due to their intended participation in the ESL. 

Footage from social media shows numerous fans on the pitch and lighting flares as well as climbing onto the goals and damaging them. A corner flag has also been stolen. One flare was also thrown towards the television gantry. 

There are also reports of television cameras being broken and the referee Michael Oliver is unable to get into the stadium. There is currently a meeting going on to decide the next course of action. 

There is no news on whether the game will take place, but it looks extremely unlikely that the match will start at the scheduled time. 

A reminder that Man City will be crowned champions this afternoon if United are beaten by Liverpool.
