Manchester United fans were an embarrassment to the club on Thursday night after their repeated chants about the Hillsborough and Heysel stadium disasters.

The 'murderers' taunts were clearly audible inside the stadium and drew boos from the home crowd at Anfield. 

Liverpool fans began the battle of the chants by shouting, "Fergie’s right, your fans are sh*te"

However, the United fans took it a step too far by referring to a report by The Sun that Liverpool supporters were responsible for the Hillsborough disaster. They shouted, "The Sun was right, you’re murderers."

Liverpool and Liverpool fans are extremely disappointed and hurt by this behaviour. 

Stain on that half was the utterly disgraceful chants from the away end. And no, it was not a minority. And yes, no place for it anywhere.
