Liverpool has strongly denounced the vandalism inflicted upon Manchester United’s team coach, following an incident where a bottle was hurled at the vehicle as it approached Anfield on Sunday.
The club issued a statement, firmly stating that any supporters found responsible for throwing objects would be subjected to severe repercussions.
Social media footage depicts a hand clutching a glass bottle, followed by the shout of “go” before the bottle is hurled towards the team bus’s window.
The match between Liverpool and their longstanding rivals ended in a goalless draw.
The official statement from Liverpool Football Club expressed severe condemnation of the actions leading to the Manchester United team coach’s damage during its arrival at Anfield. “We are currently collaborating with Merseyside Police to thoroughly investigate the matter and identify the perpetrators.

Remember when it happened to our bus in 2018? Seems like some fans never learn. Rivalry is fine but this is too much.
It’s incidents like these that tarnish the beautiful game. Glad the club is taking action. Hope the league steps up security measures.
Totally agree with Liverpool’s stance on this, these kind of actions are just shameful. We’re better than this, guys!
Just saw the video on social media, it’s shocking. Not the kind of behaviour you want to see in any sport.
as a United fan, it’s sad to see such hostility, but props to Liverpool for taking a firm stand. Hope they catch the culprits.
wow, just read about the bus attack, it’s crazy! when will fans learn to chill?? it’s just a game, people.
