The United team bus <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/watch-man-utd-hostile-welcome-team-bus-pelted-with-bottles-liverpool-fans-kick-off-anfield/bltee89daee2bb27ae5" target="_blank">was pelted with objects as it arrived at Anfield</a> on Sunday afternoon ahead of their Premier League clash with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/team/liverpool/c8h9bw1l82s06h77xxrelzhur" target="_blank">Liverpool</a>. Videos circulating on social media appeared to show individuals throwing glass bottles at the vehicle. In a statement, Liverpool condemned the actions that caused "minor damage" to the bus, according to <a href="https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/liverpool-manchester-united-live-updates-premier-league-score-result/XzlyiA798oqr/oqML2vOArKEO/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The statement read: "Liverpool Football Club utterly condemns the actions that led to damage being caused to the Manchester United team bus during its arrival at Anfield this afternoon."We are aware of footage of the incident circulating online and are working with Merseyside Police, to fully investigate and identify those responsible."Any individuals found guilty of this reprehensible behaviour will also face the full force of the club’s sanction process."

WHAT THE STATEMENT SAID

Tensions were high ahead of the match, with Liverpool hoping to restore their lead at the top of the Premier League table and United hoping to kickstart their disappointing campaign. The incident was reminiscent of events before Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final clash with Manchester City in 2018, when City's team bus was damaged by projectiles as it arrived at Anfield.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Liverpool and Merseyside Police will work to identify those individuals who threw objects at the United bus. Anyone identified will likely be banned by the club and could face criminal charges.
