The Manchester United fan responsible for wearing a shocking shirt mocking the victims of the Hillsborough disaster at Wembley Stadium has been arrested.
The individual was pictured in a sickening shirt mocking the victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster whilst in attendance for Manchester United's FA Cup final clash against Manchester City, which saw them lose 2-1 to Pep Guardiola's men thanks to a brace from Ilkay Gundogan.
Prior to kick-off, the previously mentioned fan was pictured wearing a United shirt with the number 97 on the back and the words 'not enough' also added. In reference to the 97 individuals that lost their lives in the shocking incident during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest 34 years ago.
