Four people have been arrested after disorder in the West Ham section of Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers suffered a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United after a late Marcus Rashford goal.
Footage later surfaced showing disorder in the away end with West Ham investigating the reports of trouble.
And Greater Manchester Police confirmed to Sky Sports News that four arrests have been made, including a 33-year-old on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.
A 21-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of drunk and disorderly behaviour, possession of cocaine and common assault.
A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of throwing missiles and a 23-year-old man arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.
Greater Manchester Police added: “Two other men were detained and will be summonsed at a later date for football-related offences.”
West Ham felt hard done by after their narrow defeat, with some question marks over whether Rashford’s winner should have been ruled out for offside.
Speaking after the game, Hammers manager David Moyes said of the goal: ” I’ve not seen it again, by all accounts everyone seems to think it’s fine so we have to trust VAR that they’re getting decisions right.”
Discussing the game, he added: “I just see it as them having a strong squad. I didn’t think them bringing them on made it that much different,” he said.
“We defended well enough but we completely switched off, we didn’t do things you learn as a young player when trying to see games out.

“We had a good defensive organisation but we lacked what we’ve had in recent weeks, our attacking play wasn’t at the level. There was a lot of good things about it but the result is the key thing.
“I’m not coming to these games to roll over and lose, I’m really disappointed with the result but really pleased with how the players have performed.
“For long parts today I was pleased with them, defensively rather than our attacking play. We’ve moved up a level or two over the last year, I’m enjoying it but that result today was hard to take.”
