May 2, Kathmandu- Manchester United fans have broken into Old Trafford and are protesting on the pitch after resuming their fight against the Glazer family's ownership ahead of Sunday's clash with Liverpool.

Hundreds of fans got into the stadium ahead of the behind-closed-doors Premier League contest, shown live on Sky Sports, causing the match to be delayed.

The match between United and Liverpool was due to begin at 9:15 pm, but no new kick-off time has been finalised.

Fans also gathered outside the team's hotel - The Lowry Hotel in Manchester, where the United team are staying before the game - ahead of Sunday's match at Old Trafford.

It is understood the United squad have not left the hotel amid ongoing fan protests, while match referee Michael Oliver, who had initially been turned away from the stadium, is now inside Old Trafford.

The Premier League are still planning on the game going ahead, despite the disruption caused by the demonstrations, with the coronavirus bubble still intact as fans have not accessed the dressing rooms.

There will, however, have to be a sweep of the stadium once the situation is under control.
