Seems there's a concerted effort amongst the media to downplay the Hillsborough chanting by saying that those chanting were a small minority that don't represent the majority of United fans.
The point they seem to be missing is that not only was it a significant number of their fans in attendance last night (otherwise it wouldn't have been heard), but presumably the 3000 fans that were in attendance had to be the most loyal United fans otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get tickets to the greatest European match of all time.
So whilst they may not represent the majority of their 659M fans, they are certainly representative of their core support.
Not completely concerted then:

Maybe they didn't get the memo.
