The Metropolitan Police have arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of violent disorder at Tuesday night's match between West Ham and Manchester United.

West Ham's final match at the Boleyn Ground was delayed by 45 minutes after bottles and cans were thrown at the coach carrying the Manchester United squad.

The arrest follows the Metropolitan Police's appeal for help in identifying four men they want to question in relation to the trouble.

Prior to the appeal, the Metropolitan Police had arrested three men in connection with disorder both inside and outside the ground.

Two men, aged 18 and 47, who were arrested for invading the pitch, have been bailed to return later this month.
