United avoid chanting rap

MANCHESTER United have avoided UEFA sanction for supporters’ chants about the Hillsborough disaster during the Europa League clash with Liverpool.

Last week was the first European meeting of the North–West giants, a first-leg, last–16 tie that Jurgen Klopp’s men won 2–0 at Anfield.

The match was overshadowed by unsavoury chants from the away end, with sections of travelling supporters heard singing about the Hillsborough disaster on several occasions.

A UEFA spokesperson has confirmed United will not be punished for the incident. The chanting was not mentioned in the match officials’ reports.

The second leg tie takes place at Old Trafford on Thursday.
