Four people were arrested after disturbances in the West Ham section of Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

Hammers suffered a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United after Marcus Rashford’s late goal.

Later footage emerged showing the chaos at the end of the go, with West Ham investigating reports of the trouble.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed to Sky Sports News that four people, including a 33-year-old, had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.

A 21-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of drunken, disorderly conduct, cocaine possession and common assault.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of throwing rockets and a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of violating public order.

Greater Manchester Police added: “Two other men have been arrested and will be summoned at a later date for football-related offences.”

West Ham felt ruthless after their narrow defeat, with some question marks over whether Rashford’s goal would be ruled out for offside.

Speaking after the match, Hammers coach David Moyes said of the goal: “I haven’t seen him again, by all accounts everyone seems to think he’s good so we have to trust the VAR because they make the right decisions.”

Discussing the match, he added, “I see that they have a strong squad. I didn’t think bringing them with them made it so much different.”

“We defended well enough but we stopped completely, we didn’t do things that you learn as a young player when we were trying to finish matches.

“We had a good defensive organization but we lacked what we had in the last weeks, our offensive play wasn’t at the level. There were a lot of good things in it but the result is the main thing.

“I’m not going to bring these matches to go down and lose, I was really disappointed with the result but really happy with the players’ performance.

“For long parts of the day I was happy with them, defensively rather than offensively. We’ve gone up a level or two over the past year, and I’m enjoying it but this result today was hard to take.”
