Manchester United have accused the Sun newspaper of receiving advanced notice of an intended attack on the house of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
The club has filed a complaint to the press regulator regarding the Sun's coverage of the attack on 28 January. The newspaper confirmed a reporter attended "following a tip-off that there was to be a protest". But it added it was not made aware of "what was to take place nor incited it or encouraged any criminal activity".
In a statement, Manchester United said: "The Club believes that the Sun newspaper had received advance notice of the intended attack, which included criminal damage and intent to intimidate, and that the journalist was present as it happened.
"The quality of the images accompanying the story indicate that a photographer was also present. Not only did the journalist fail to discharge the basic duty of a responsible member of society to report an impending crime and avert potential danger and criminal damage, his presence both encouraged and rewarded the perpetrators."
