South Yorkshire Police have confirmed a total of seven fans were arrested at Oakwell on Tuesday night as a result of the trouble which flared during the Carling Cup clash between Barnsley and Manchester United.
The Football Association have launched their own investigation after visiting fans wrecked one of the bar areas in the concourse of the North Stand and stole food and money in an incident that marred United's 2-0 win.
Eight catering staff were trapped inside a food kiosk and had to barricade themselves in a store room for around 25 minutes as fans broke in. Stewards on the pitch also had food thrown at them during the violence.
A South Yorkshire Police statement released on Wednesday morning said: "South Yorkshire Police can confirm a disorder occurred during the first half of the Barnsley versus Manchester United match at Oakwell last night.
"Police and both football clubs were disappointed by the conduct of a minority of fans.
"Police responded quickly and effectively to a spontaneous disorder caused by a small group of people that had gathered near to the central bar on the North Stand.
"Officers in protective uniform were deployed to restore order, disperse the crowd and ensure the safety of staff inside the area."
Two men aged 22 and 24 were arrested for public order offences, a 26 year-old-man was arrested for theft and a 32-year-old man was arrested for throwing a missile onto a football pitch. All four men are from Manchester.
In a separate incident, three Barnsley fans were arrested for running on to the pitch during play.
The FA are awaiting the report from their crowd control advisor present at the game, as well as from referee Chris Foy.

Yeah, here at Patsypool FC we've had to raise our standards recently. It has to be Phil Collins all the way from now on. Nothing else. Causes an uneasy friction on the team bus and we've had a few fights in the dressing room over it. I've had to give that tit Torres a few black eyes so far this season, him and Benitez were trying to play Spanish music. But hey, but as long as the music's Phil Collins and I get my own way, who cares what happens on the pitch.

Now, now I can’t have you having a go at innocent thugs. Someone else has got to stand up for them apart from the ‘patsy’ red half of Liverpool.
‘Police responded quickly ( after 25 mins? or did the police keep them in their storeroom ? ) and effectively to a spontaneous disorder caused by a small group of people that had gathered near to the central bar on the North Stand.’
nrhands # 4 – ‘Police in riot gear on every corner, police dogs barking and snarling, dozens of police vans and cars covered in metal mesh protectors, police vans full of policemen sat in side streets ‘
Isn’t is like that all the time where you live? I thought it was the whole country. It’s like that where I live all the time but you get used to it.
I've got experience of this sort of behaviour. I'm sure Manchester United will treat this behaviour in the same way as they always do, with lifetime bans and prosecutions for the perputrators of said behaviour. Whereas the 'patsy' people of Liverpool let these sorts off scott free, continue to treat them as heroes and then you reward this behaviour as an example to the youth of Liverpool and Manchester and everywhere else by continuing to make them the captain of your lowlife football team. What else can you expect this season if I can get away with it. I set the example. Who else is there to blame? How many pitch invasions have we had this season? How many objects on the pitch? Fans on the pitch? Etc, etc, there’s no-one else to blame but me.
Not that bad? have you seen the state of the place the united fans wrecked it and stole all the money from the tills, not all clubs can afford that. It's quite Ironic that it's always utd fans who give liverpool fans grief over crime stats in liverpool.
I WAS THERE IT WAS NOT THAT BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the sort of behaviour i expect from man ure fans coming from the crime capital of europe,
disgusting parasites they are !
