Manchester United's anti-Liverpool chanting unlikely to lead to action from the Premier League
Manchester
United's biggest win of the season was marred by a short burst of
anti-Liverpool chanting from a small minority of home fans following on from
this week's damning report on the handling of the Hillsborough disaster in
1989, in which 96 people died.
The report laid bare a shocking cover-up which attempted to shift the blame
for the tragedy on to its victims, revealing that South Yorkshire Police had
instructed officers to change or amend their statements relating to the
tragic events.
One clearly audible chant at yesterday's game at Old Trafford was "Always
the victims, never your fault", believed to be in reference to the
report findings.
However, the song has been sung since Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was found
guilty of racially abusing United defender Patrice Evra last season, which
saw the Uruguay international given an eight-game ban and a £40,000 fine.
It is understood the Premier League deem Saturday's chants to be unacceptable
but believe it is a matter for the clubs themselves to deal with.
