Man Utd investigate Diego Simeone bottle-throwing incident as fans face three-year ban

Manchester United are reviewing CCTV from Old Trafford to try and identify the fans who threw objects at Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone on Tuesday night.

Simeone was pelted with bottles and other objects as he ran down the tunnel following Atleti’s 1-0 win over United in the Champions League. The home fans were furious with what they saw as underhand tactics from the Spanish side, who progressed to the quarter-finals 2-1 on aggregate.

United are now pouring over video from the stadium to try and identify the supporters who were responsible. If found, the United fans face a three-year stadium ban for throwing objects towards the field of play.
