Peter Schmeichel brands Manchester United protesters inside Old Trafford 'idiots and troublemakers' and claims 'die-hard' supporters were NOT the ones on the pitch as he urges the Red Devils fanbase to work alongside the 'very proud' Glazer ownership

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has labelled the protesters that broke into Old Trafford on Sunday as 'idiots and troublemakers'.

A number of angry supporters managed to get inside United's famous ground as part of the wider calls for the much-maligned owners of the club, the Glazers, to step away in the wake of the European Super League fiasco.

Their disgust with years of mismanagement culminated in tensions rising at the weekend - and images quickly emerged of people standing up against the hierarchy on the pitch. Equipment was broken and two police officers were injured.
