Despite the young fans supporting the same club, Manchester United supporters threw cans at a bus full of scared children while yelling “scouse b***ard” and “murderers.”
Prior to Monday night’s critical matchup with the team’s archrivals, Red Devils supporters made the astonishing mistake of thinking the single decker was packed with Liverpool supporters.
Online videos of the tense pre-match demonstrations showed irate red and white supporters flinging liquid-filled cans at the car.
United supporters demonstrated before the game in opposition to the club’s US owners, the Glazer family, who have been held accountable for years of bad management, poor hiring, and lack of investment.
Despite the coach being filled with teenage Red Devils supporters, United supporters flung beverage cans and yelled abuse, calling the players “scouse b***ards” and “murderers.”
The video has received 1.4 million views since it was shared on social media. Yesterday, United supporters demonstrated outside the stadium in opposition to the Glazer family, who control their American team.
However, a Beeline VIP Coaches representative said, “Many thanks you fools, we were bringing a bunch of youngsters to the game, Manchester United supporters.” All of them were utterly terrified.
When the coach and children’s safety were at stake, where were the Greater Manchester Police?
An image of the bus’s rear with a massive bee emblem and the words “Manchester” and “England” underneath it in large letters was posted in a subsequent tweet.
“Just a pity our bus doesn’t have anything on it saying that it’s from Manchester,” the spokeswoman remarked.
And it would suggest there are Manchester United fans inside.
Oh, wait a second. Perhaps they didn’t see it, eh?
Online commenters were furious by the sloppy error, and one even added, “Nice.” A coach full of children who have no interest in ever attending another game.
I almost forgot that they were also United supporters. They were hurling cans at youngsters who were supporting their own team and calling them “murderers.”
Alcohol and a sizable crowd, a second remarked. Fantastic mix. Someone another yelled, “Pathetic, as always gone too far.”
“I’m okay for things going a little farther than simply a marching protest to the ground, but anything like this and invading the ground if it occurred again is just pushing it too far,” the speaker said.
“Stuff like this undermines the protest,” one supporter said.
After losing their first two games of the season to Brentford and Brighton, United defeated Liverpool 2-1 to climb off the bottom of the standings.
