Erik Ten Hag, United head coach, has come out to urge fans to stop tragedy chanting.
According to manutd.com:
Writing in his regular column for United Review, our official matchday programme, Ten Hag referred back to the game on 17 March when he said: “The atmosphere our fans generated was incredible that afternoon.
“If we can produce the same noise levels around Old Trafford, then we have already seen what a positive force it can be and the impact that it has on the players.
“As such, it is part of my duty to remind every supporter fortunate enough to be at the game that it must be enjoyed in the proper way, and not used as an excuse for abusing rival fans about Hillsborough, Heysel or any other historic tragedies.”
The boss continued: “This is one of the truly great rivalries in world sport, for so many of the right reasons, and it is our responsibility to keep it that way.
“Whether the clubs meet at Old Trafford or Anfield, all supporters must focus entirely on backing their team and both Jurgen and I trust that we can count on that happening today [on Sunday].”
