The Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance (HSA) took to the Twitter to expressed their worriness about the news development.
HSA wrote in parts: "On Saturday 3rd June 2023, the first ever all Manchester cup final took place at Wembley between Manchester City and Manchester United.
"It was the opportunity for Manchester as a city to show itself in its best light but unfortunately this was marred by a so-called Manchester United fan wearing an away shirt that mocked the deaths of the 97 unlawfully killed at Hillsborough, the families and the survivors of the tragedy that took place on April 15th 1989."
"On the back of the shirt was the number 97 and above that, where players names are normally displayed, where the words Not Enough.
L"et's hope the justice system can be as swift with the appropriate punishment for this act of hatred," the HSA concluded
