Graeme Souness slams Manchester United protesters for throwing bottles and a flare during storming of Old Trafford, insisting 'a village idiot could have KILLED someone here today'

Graeme Souness has reacted furiously after a flare and a bottle of beer were thrown up at pundits as part of fan demonstrations which saw the Manchester United vs Liverpool match dramatically postponed.

Souness was speaking as a pundit alongside former United captain Roy Keane and ex-Manchester City defender Micah Richards on a raised stage inside Old Trafford, with United and Liverpool icons in Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher pitchside.

And while Neville and Carragher defended the fans' right to protest, the former Liverpool captain underlined his feelings on the minority of protesters who turned violent during their storming of Old Trafford and threw the items at the pundits.
