Former Man United and Liverpool players come together to tackle tragedy chanting

Manchester United and Liverpool have joined forces to launch an initiative aimed at eradicating tragedy chanting.

The exhilarating FA Cup quarter-final between the two most successful clubs in England earlier this month – won 4-3 by United with a late goal in extra time – was marred by incidences of tragedy-related chanting by supporters.

With the two rivals set to meet again in the Premier League at Old Trafford on 7 April, the charitable foundations of both clubs have come together to deliver an education programme focused on the impact such conduct can have.
