Liverpool have released a statement after a group of Manchester United fans were heard mocking the Hillsborough disaster at Anfield on Tuesday night.
Footage emerged of a group of fans singing about The Sun newspaper as they walked towards Anfield ahead of United’s 4-0 defeat on Merseyside. The publication has been widely boycotted in the city after falsely reporting that Liverpool fans were to blame for the 1989 tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of 97 supporters.
Members of the group at the front and back of the crowd can be heard singing the song. Some visiting supporters were also heard chanting the same message towards the home fans during Tuesday night’s game.
