Manchester United's anti-Liverpool chanting unlikely to lead to action from the Premier League There is a history of sour relations between the two sides. A minority of United fans have directed chants to Liverpool fans regarding Hillsborough and a Liverpool minority have chanted in reference to the Munich air disaster of 1958 in which 23 people died. Yesterday, a United spokesperson said the club "deplore" such songs and in a statement, United said: "The manager has made the club's position very clear on this matter. The Football Association declined to comment on the matter when contacted by Press Association Sport today. The tension between the two rival clubs is sure to be heightened when United travel to Anfield next Sunday. Manchester United's Supporters' Trust (MUST) echoed Ferguson's statements. MUST chief executive Duncan Drasdo said: "We enjoy a fierce rivalry but these issues transcend that rivalry. Following this week's developments and release of revelatory information on the Hillsborough tragedy, MUST wishes to make it absolutely clear that just as we condemn chants mocking the Munich air disaster we also condemn any chants relating to Hillsborough or indeed any other human tragedy.
