Man Utd coach window smashed with a bottle on the way to Anfield

Dutch manager Erik ten Hag is being highly criticised by Manchester United fans due to his side's poor results in recent weeks. The Dutchman was voted Premier League manager of the month for November but his future at Old Trafford is uncertain.

Fans want him out of charge of the club and manager Graham Potter is one of the possible replacements the board are considering, according to reports in England. The 53-year-old has been on the receiving end of a bus attack on the Red Devils' arrival at Anfield.

A video of a fan throwing a glass bottle at the window of the United coach's bus has gone viral on X, formerly known as Twitter. The bottle partially broke the upper deck window but no one was injured.

It is unknown whether the attacker is a Liverpool or Manchester United fan but police forces are already searching for the man responsible for the bus attack. All English media suggest that the assailant was a fan of the home team, as many rivalries are created at big Premier League matches.

In keeping with the toxic nature of English football's most bitter rivalry, Liverpool were forced to "utterly condemn" the fans who bombarded United's team bus with missiles before the game. That ugly scene was followed by a scrappy game equally short on appealing qualities.
