Man United fan violence condemned by government and mayor

The Hindu  

Violence during Sunday's protests from Manchester United fans, which led to the Premier League game with Liverpool being postponed, was condemned by the UK government's sports minister and the mayor of Greater Manchester. "I think it's a good thing that we've been able to do things that make it pretty clear that the European Super League is not going to be appreciated by the people of this country." "I fully understand the long-standing concerns of Manchester United supporters about both the ownership and financing of their club and the wider running of football," he said. The fan protests against the Glazers, which has been taking place since they bought the club in 2005, has been reignited since United's involvement in the attempt to create a breakaway European Super League.
