'We are on the f****** pitch': The day that shamed a disgruntled mob of Manchester United fans - and landed 40 people in court
About 18 months on, the hundreds of protestors who descended on Old Trafford appear to have got their wish. Earlier this week, an announcement from Manchester United's owners, the Glazer family, confirmed the club is up for sale.
In total 35 assaults against police officers and security staff were recorded. One police officer was kicked to the testicles. Details of how the peaceful protests turned violent have been laid bare during several court hearings. Supporters began to congregate outside Old Trafford at about 1pm, ahead of the game which was due to kick off at 4.30pm.
Jake Cottee pushed over a Sky TV camera while in the ground, causing £63,000 worth of damage. A flare was thrown towards the Sky commentary team, but missed. Corner flags and footballs were stolen. Glass bottles and cans were hurled at them. During the melee one officer was hit to the face and suffered serious facial fractures. One officer said missiles were being thrown at them 'like confetti'.
