More football fans admit crimes following large scale anti-Glazer protests at Old Trafford ahead of United v Liverpool

Four more football fans have admitted their involvement in a huge disturbance at Old Trafford which led to a Manchester United match being called off. The game between the Reds and fierce rivals Liverpool was postponed after protesters broke into the ground and invaded the pitch.

About 1,000 people had gathered outside the ground to demonstrate, with some clashing with police. A further four men are due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to criminal offences in relation to the large scale disturbance in May last year.

Lee Bowie, 34, admitted burglary. Gary Buckley, 52; Matthew Connor, 20; and Jake O'Hare, 26, all pleaded guilty to violent disorder.
