FA to investigate pre-match incident outside Boleyn Ground
The Football Association announced it would cooperate with police in an investigation into the "unsavoury incidents" that took place in front of West Ham's Boleyn Ground on Tuesday.
Various West Ham supporters threw cans and bottles at Manchester United's bus before the Premier League match in east London, the last one in the 112-history of the stadium. The referee chose to delay kick-off by 45 minutes.
The bus sustained cosmetic damage, and police confirmed one officer was injured in the mayhem. A water bottle was also thrown at United goalkeeper David De Gea during the match after Anthony Martial scored an equaliser for the visiting side.
It all left a black mark on a night meant to celebrate the end of the Boleyn Ground, with West Ham set to move into the Olympic Stadium by next season.

"The FA strongly condemns the unsavoury incidents this evening involving both the Manchester United team coach outside West Ham United's Boleyn Ground and objects thrown from a section of the home support during the game," a statement read on Twitter. "We will work closely with both clubs and the Metropolitan Police to fully investigate these matters."
West Ham could face the possibility of playing its first game in the Olympic Stadium behind closed doors if the FA finds enough evidence to charge the club, according to Rob Harris of the Associated Press.
