London | Manchester United’s US owners faced protests from hundreds of fans on Sunday (Monday AEST), many of whom broke into the club’s famed Old Trafford stadium to express their anger at a failed attempt to form a breakaway league for Europe’s elite teams.

The team’s match against Liverpool, also American-owned and part of the Super League plan, was postponed. Dozens of supporters had entered the field, releasing flares and smoke grenades to protest against the Glazer family. Images showed one person hanging onto a crossbar, while a corner flag from the pitch was paraded outside.
