Yes. I think some Scousers came to Salford on Friday night and someone got glassed. Word went round, and United, in large numbers, were on every corner waiting for the arrival for the of scouse fans.
You sensed it in the air, I walked over from the Lowry on the Quays - that is where I lived, and as I crossed the bridge you just heard 'get into them' and United rushing a large Scouse group with a pretty small police escort to tell the truth. Carried on from the bridge to the Premier Inn, where loads of cops came running down from OT, with an even bigger contingent United fans from Sam Platts and Sir Matt Busby Way...etc.
When the Mickey Owen put them ahead on about 3 mins, you just felt it was going to turn even more nasty. Thank fully Ole stole the show in the last few minutes and the Scousers were left to shed a tear. I stayed in OT to have a few bevvies after the game, and the cameras were on all the Scouse fans looking as though their world had just fell apart

. United fans were still waiting for them as they came out

Apart from Leeds and City in the 70s, I don't recall the atmosphere being so nasty, maybe '85 Cup semi-final against Liverpool. Usually it is hatred, but not to the point of hundreds of fans wanting to kick the shit out of someone.
