Man Utd face UEFA rap due to unruly away fans

Manchester United could be in trouble with UEFA due to their away fans.

The Daily Mail says UEFA have launched separate investigations into Manchester United and Marseille over incidents that occurred during Wednesday's Champions League clash at the Stade Velodrome.

Seven United fans are believed to have been arrested on the night, including four who lit a red flare in the away section of the ground.

They were identified on camera and arrested by police as they left the stadium. The four were due to appear in court and could face six-month jail sentences, which was the punishment handed out to Chelsea fans found guilty of a similar offence at Marseille in December.

UEFA's disciplinary panel will deliver its verdict on the incident on March 17. The other United fans detained are believed to have clashed with French police outside the ground and in a hangar set up behind it to carry out stringent security checks.
