Manchester United fans protesting before their Premier League clash with Liverpool tonight allegedly threw cans of beer at a coach full of children. Thousands of United fans protested near Old Trafford tonight against their owners, with a video shared widely on social media showing one large group throwing objects at a slowly passing coach.
A Moston based coach company, Beeline VIP coaches, re-shared the video which they said showed their coach travelling to the ground with children onboard. The coach was taking Manchester United fans to the game, the post said, and it left those onboard 'frightened to death'.
It appears that those throwing the beer and other objects believed the coach to be carrying Liverpool fans or players but a post from the coach company made it clear this was not the case.
