The damaged bus, replaced for the return journey, finally stopped around 100 yards from the Upton Park entrance after being hemmed in by supporters.

United skipper Wayne Rooney said: ‘It wasn’t nice, obviously the coach was smashed up. I’m sure you’ll see the images so it’s not for me to say, but obviously it was disappointing. It’s a big night with West Ham leaving the stadium but I’m sure they’ll be disappointed with what the fans have done.’

West Ham released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning stating they will work with police to identify the culprits and issue life bans.

The statement read: 'It was an extraordinary night full of extraordinary moments in front of extraordinary fans. 99 percent of whom behaved impeccably and were a credit to the Club.
