Manchester United fans have stepped up their protests against the Glazer family's ownership, with Sunday's events at Old Trafford being just the start of a concerted campaign to oust the Glazers.
Organisers of the protest insist that Sunday's events were the beginning of a long-term effort to remove the Glazers from the club, with more protests planned in the coming days and weeks.
The protests were sparked by Manchester United's involvement in the proposed European Super League, which fans felt was a betrayal of the club's values and a further example of the Glazers' disregard for the fans.
Manchester United have undertaken a review of security measures at the stadium, following the breach of security on Sunday, which forced the postponement of the match against Liverpool.
The club has vowed to ban those found guilty of criminal damage, and the Premier League and FA have launched investigations into the incident, with Manchester United facing potential sanctions for the security breaches.
Manchester United Supporters Trust has released an open letter, refusing to let their voices be silenced by the news, and stating that the events at Old Trafford were the culmination of 16 years of the Glazers' ownership, which has driven the club into debt and decline.
The Greater Manchester Police are also investigating the incident, and a Premier League spokesman has stated that the actions of a minority of those present at Old Trafford on Sunday have no justification and will be investigated.
