Fans are alleged to have thrown objects onto the pitch and invaded the playing surface after Cristiano Ronaldo’s dramatic stoppage-time winner.

United have been ordered to pay European football’s governing body €8,375 – around £7,050 – for the unsavoury scenes in Manchester.

West Ham, meanwhile, have been fined €60,000 – around £50,500 – for the trouble that unfolded during their Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna.

Objects were allegedly thrown between the two sets of supporters at the London Stadium, with Vienna also receiving the same fine.

The Austrian club will also not be allowed to have fans travel to their next European game against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb in November.

Uefa have also handed out punishments to three other clubs following an extensive disciplinary review.

Paris-Saint-Germain have been fined €40,250 – around £33,900 – after fans blocked public passageways and set off fireworks against Manchester City.

Legia Warsaw supporters have also been found guilty of blocking public passageways against Leicester and the club have been ordered to pay €16,000 – around £13,500.

And Arsenal Women have been warned about their team’s conduct following their game with Barcelona earlier this month.

Man Utd fans were in joyous mood again on Wednesday night as Ronaldo scored another late winner in the Champions League, this time against Atalanta.

And the Portuguese forward’s club and international team-mate Bruno Fernandes has urged the Red Devils to beat Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

The creative midfielder said: “Manchester United have to think about being the protagonist game by game.

“Because, let’s say that the fact that we often think ‘we want to be champions’, ‘we want to win titles’, it’s true that this club demands it.

“But we have to think that if we don’t win game by game, it’ll be difficult for that to happen.

“So now we have a very big game. We have a game where we have to win. A very important game against one of the club’s biggest rivals.

“A game where we have to win points, we haven’t won points at home for two games.

“We have to do it because in the league we’ve won a point from three games. And it’s not enough. And now we have to show that we’re here and that we’ll be in the fight.

“But to be in the fight it has to be game by game and our focus has to be Liverpool.”
