Rangers fans caught fighting in Old Trafford chaos after getting tickets in Manchester United end

Chaos erupted at Old Trafford as Rangers fans clashed with Manchester United supporters inside the stadium. Disturbing videos show violent scenes from Thursday night's Europa League match, with several altercations within the home side of the stadium.

It came after Rangers fans managed to get tickets in the United home end. In one encounter captured on camera, fans can be seen pummelling a man in a black jacket, who attempts to fight back before being pursued down flights of stairs. Another clip highlights mayhem amongst spectators as fists fly vigorously towards an individual amidst the crowd, reports the Daily Record.

Manchester United released a statement on Rangers fans getting home tickets last night, confirming that 'strict measures' had been put into place to block away supporters from obtaining tickets among their own ranks and promised to impose serious penalties on any culprits identified as having sold their tickets unlawfully.

A spokesperson for the club stated: "In anticipation of the risks around tonight's game, we took the strictest possible measures to prevent sales to away fans in home areas. Tickets were only allocated to people who existed on our database prior to the draw taking place in August. Hospitality tickets had the same restrictions applied."

"Tickets forwarded by season ticket-holders and members also had the same restrictions applied (i.e. they could only be forwarded to fans on our database prior to the draw).

"Whilst the unauthorised touting of tickets has become more difficult since our introduction of in-app digital ticketing, it cannot be completely eliminated.

"All examples of away fans in home areas will be investigated over the coming days, with the strongest possible sanctions taken
