A protester who stormed the Old Trafford pitch filmed himself saying 'people f***ing power, this is what it's all about' as police were hit with a barrage of missiles from Manchester United fans.
Thousands of fans objecting to the Glazer family’s ownership of the club descended on the stadium ahead of the Liverpool match throwing bottles, cans and even barricades at police before raiding the pitch. The game on May 2, 2021, had to be postponed.
Manchester Crown Court heard how one police officer was seriously injured in the melee after being hit in the face with a glass bottle and another was left feeling sick after being kicked in the testicles. There are 40 defendants overall being hauled before the court after pleading guilty to violent disorder and other offences.
