The full force of the law will be called upon to stop the vile chants about the tragedy.

There has been a recent rise in the singing of songs about the 1989 FA Cup semi-final crush in which 97 fans lost their lives.

The club was dismayed by the recent rise in vile chants.

Manchester United condemned fans who chanted about the disaster.

Manchester United later said the act was completely unacceptable as they faced off against the Reds.

The impact of the slurs have on the families of the 97, those who survived, and all associated with the club was stated in a statement.

We are working with the relevant authorities to ensure that these chants are eradicated from football altogether and, where appropriate, bring the full force of the law and the game's sanction process down on those who continue to sing them.

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

The jury at the inquest into the deaths of the people at the game ruled that they were not killed in a fair way.
