Manchester United favourite Nani caught up in Melbourne crowd trouble as goalkeeper hit in face with bin

Former Manchester United attacker Nani featured in the abandoned Melbourne Derby clash on Saturday, with the game being called off after fans invaded the pitch and attacked Melbourne City's goalkeeper.

Supporters encroached the pitch in the 21st minute and City shot-stopper Thomas Glover was attacked - having a bin smashed into his face. The incident came amid fury about the A-League's decision to send the next three grand finals to Sydney.

A mass walkout had been planned in the 20th minute, but tempers boiled over and fans ran onto the pitch shortly after Glover appeared to throw a flare back into the crowd.
