Manchester Utd Condemns Anti-Liverpool Chanting Heard At Old Trafford: The Nightly EPL

Manchester United supporters had an opportunity today to wipe the slate clean and to show what a model they are for football supporters across Great Britain. Instead, sections of the Old Trafford crowd today participated in despicable anti-Liverpool chanting in a week where their rivals finally got the truth they wanted to find.

The Old Trafford club quickly came out and condemned the anti-Liverpool chants.

The chanting that got some of the United supporters in trouble today were “It’s never your fault, it’s never your fault, always the victims, it’s never your fault.” While United supporters argue that it’s about the Luis Suarez-Patrice Evra race row, whether it was or not is besides the point. It was done in poor taste and with incredibly awful timing. Sadly this sort of thing will only encourage Liverpool fans to seek revenge when the two clubs play next weekend.
