VIDEO: Violence mars friendly match
4:35pm Tuesday 22nd July 2008
A MANCHESTER United fan has posted video of the crowd scenes preceeding the ugly confrontation at Saturday's Altrincham friendly.
United fans carried out a pitch invasion five minutes before the end of the friendly between Alty and the Premiership giants' reserve team, causing the game to be abandoned.
Robins defender Greg Young was even physically confronted by one of the supporters, who approached the 25-year-old before shoving him in the chest.
And video has appeared on popular website YouTube which shows United fans in the Golf Road End at Moss Lane banging on the back of the stand, throwing smoke bombs onto the pitch and climbing on safety barriers.
