‘This is absolutely disgusting’ – Piers Morgan calls for ban on Man United fans who attacked the home of the club’s chief, Ed Woodward

Earlier today, we reported that about 20 balaclava-clad supporters with some of them understood to be members of United’s notorious ‘Men In Black’ hooligan firm, launched an attack at the club’s chief Ed Woodward’s luxurious £2m Cheshire mansion, where he lives with his wife and two young children.

The fans launched fireworks and a smoke bomb before spray painting his gates red in protest of how he has been running the club since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Now, the Old Trafford club have revealed that any supporters found at the scene would face a lifetime ban and could face prosecution.

Football fans around the world have also taken to Twitter to back the club’s action, including controversial British journalist and Arsenal fan, Piers Morgan.

Reacting on Twitter, Piers Morgan wrote:  ‘This is absolutely disgusting,’ Morgan tweeted. ‘All genuine decent fans should root out these vermin from their club. Woodward has two young daughters for God’s sake.’
