Man United escape punishment over Hillsborough disaster chants at Anfield

Uefa will not take any disciplinary action after last Thursday’s Europa League clash.

MANCHESTER UNITED WILL not face any Uefa santions for songs sung about the Hillsborough disaster by away fans at last week’s Europa League game at Anfield.

Red Devils midfielder Marouane Fellaini also won’t face punishment after clashing with Emre Can during the Round of 16 first leg, which finished 2-0 to Liverpool.

Fellaini appeared to strike his opponent Can with an elbow during the closing moments of the match.

Sections of the United support were heard to sing songs referencing the football stadium disasters at Heysel and Hillsborough – where terrace incidents around games involving Liverpool resulted in the deaths of 135 fans — during the game.
