Manchester United condemn fans' 'completely unacceptable' chants about Hillsborough tragedy

Manchester United have condemned fans who sang about the tragedy during the game.

The club will educate fans on the issue.

The side suffered a heavy loss.

A club spokesman said that Manchester United stood in solidarity with the fans of the other team.

Racist chants about the tragedy are completely unacceptable and we will work with our supporters to educate fans on the issue.

During the game, both sets of supporters stood together in a minute of applause to show their support for the family of the player.

In the seventh minute of the match, the fans of the two teams sang the club anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone".

On Saturday, Manchester City apologized after some fans disturbed a minute's silence marking the 33rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

A crush at the FA Cup semi-final betweenLiverpool andNottingham Forest resulted in the deaths of 97 fans.

A jury at an inquest later ruled that they were unlawfully killed, making it the UK's worst sporting disaster.
