Erik ten Hag’s side are yet to record a victory, having drawn their opening two games against Twente and Porto.
One United supporter told the Daily Mail they saw a fan get hit with a crowbar. And another supporter told fan website StrettyNews: “About 50 of them swarmed us (a group of five). One lad followed me down a street and pretended to help before hitting me a shot into the jaw.”
