MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United’s Premier League game against Liverpool was postponed after supporters stormed into the stadium and onto the pitch.

Thousands of United fans gathered outside Old Trafford to demand the Glazer family ownership sells the club.

Long-running anger against the club’s owners, the Glazer family, has boiled over after they were part of the failed attempt to take United into a European Super League.

Media trying to enter the club’s car park were told the ground was in lockdown.
