Manchester United team bus is damaged on its way to Anfield as bottles are thrown by Liverpool supporters lining the streets

A bottle was thrown at the Manchester United team bus as it’s made its way to Anfield ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool.

Erik ten Hag’s side made the short journey to neighbouring Liverpool via road and took damage to their team coach as it weaved through streets on approach to the stadium.

United’s two coaches carried players and staff to the home of Jurgen Klopp’s title-challengers. The vehicle at the front of the pair was struck by the missile thrown amidst a crowd of Liverpool fans.

The vehicle reportedly took damage to a window on the upper deck of the bus that was partly smashed by the bottle, as per Simon Peach.

United eventually arrived at the stadium with players and staff making their way into the ground and going through their usual pre-match preparations ahead of kick-off at 4.30pm.
