Internet Desk: Manchester United’s team bus was attacked by West Ham fans ahead of Tuesday’s Premier League clash at Upton Park.
The match was delayed by 45 minutes after United arrived over an hour later than scheduled.
United’s coach and a police escort were pelted with bottles on their approach to Upton Park, while Wayne Rooney was quick to criticise the home fans’ actions.
Kick-off for the Premier League meeting before West Ham move to the Olympic Stadium in the summer, was delayed until 8:30pm after United’s players did not reach the ground until 7:10pm.
The coach had to battle through throngs of home fans gathering outside the stadium and as the driver maneuvered his way through the car park gates, the coach was pelted with glass bottles and other missiles – breaking and damaging the tinted windows.
