An hour-long protest by Just Stop Oil campaigners slowed traffic on a busy road near Manchester city centre.

The demonstration upset some motorists in Regent Road in Salford - which is near the Old Trafford stadium, with footage showing drivers remonstrating with activists and sounding horns.

It is the latest protest from the group, which has held demonstrations on the M25 in London and at sports venues.

The BBC has contacted Greater Manchester Police for a response.

Officers were seen dealing with protesters slowly walking near the M602 motorway and the Old Trafford stadium, where Manchester United were due to play an FA Cup game at 20:00 GMT.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
