A large part of Salford's hour riot was characterised by gangs of youths battling police from within the city's impoverished estates. Witnesses report a "party atmosphere", with people drinking looted beer and taking pictures on their phones. By 2pm on Tuesday 9 August jittery shopkeepers in Salford Precinct had closed for the day.
Youths started congregating on the adjacent Brydon Close, located in a warren-like estate of grey social housing and tower blocks. At the time Manchester's assistant chief constable Terry Sweeney was dismissing rumours of rioting — yet by 4pm the precinct had been completely sealed off by flanks of police cars. Over in Manchester, hooded gangs had started gathering in Piccadilly. An hour later, about 40 riot police were seen advancing towards a crowd of youths throwing bricks and paving flags on Brydon Close.
Several witness accounts claim the initial police action on Brydon Close provoked the crowds. They were chasing each other; it was like cat and dog. At the same time in Manchester city centre, a hooded, masked crowd was making its way down the upmarket New Cathedral Street, home to Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.
The Ugg shop was smashed. The riots had begun. By 8pm in both cities, initial pitch battles between police and hundreds of rioters — with police suffering what they called "unprecedented levels of violence and criminality"— had stopped, giving way to apparently unhindered looting. About people gathered around Salford Precinct's Lidl as shelves were cleared while people stood and took pictures.
Miss Selfridge was set on fire in Manchester's Market Street. Sky Sports cameras captured the moment fans made in into the stadium after breaking through barriers and a handful of stewards. A flare was thrown as supporters roamed the pitch, while a few clambered on the goals and removed corner flags. There was also a raucous protest by several hundred outside the Lowry hotel, where Manchester United's stars were waiting to leave for what was meant to be a vital game against their fierce rivals.
Manchester Evening News said fans were chanting "we decide, we decide, we decide when you can play" - as some players were pictured watching from inside. The match - which would have seen Manchester City crowned champions had Liverpool won - was eventually called off and is still to be rescheduled. The Premier League said it understood the "strength of feeling" of fans but said the actions of a "minority" had no justification.
Speaking to Sky News on Monday, Foreign Office minister James Cleverly also said there was no excuse for violence but that fans' "frustrations" needed to be recognised. Mr Cleverly said supporters had "to be at the heart of this game" and pointed to the newly announced fan-led review being led by former sports minister Tracey Crouch. The review is set to look at how fans are treated, as well as issues of governance, financial sustainability and ownership.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville, who was inside the stadium for Sky Sports, blamed United owners the Glazer family for the protests and urged them to put the club up for sale.
He said the Super League debacle of a few weeks ago had reignited long-held anger over the Glazers - whom many supports feel are out of touch and only care about profit. I think they are struggling to meet the financial demands that this club needs and have done for some time. United were debt free before the Glazers took over. The fallout from the attempted breakaway European Super League has also triggered protests in recent weeks at other clubs who were set to join, including Chelsea and Arsenal.
