Liverpool, Manchester United fined for fans' illicit chants in Europa League tie

Manchester United and Liverpool have been fined by UEFA over illicit chants and crowd disturbances at their Europa League meetings this season.

Both clubs were hit by €40,000 (£30,565) fines for the chants, with half being suspended for a probationary period of two years.

Liverpool must also pay an additional €17,000 (£12,995) for the setting off of fireworks, throwing of objects, crowd disturbances and a late kick-off.

United have to pay an additional €18,000 (£13,751) for the offences of blocking stairways, crowd disturbances and the throwing of objects.

The punishments were handed down by UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body.

The first leg took place on March 10 at Anfield, when Liverpool won 2-0, with a 1-1 draw the following week at Old Trafford.

Liverpool have also been ordered to contact United within 30 days for the settlement of damages caused by supporters.

Liverpool still have disciplinary charges outstanding in relation to setting off fireworks in their quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund and more fireworks offences and crowd disturbances relating to last week's Europa League final against Sevilla.
