West Ham, Man United kickoff delayed

Tuesday's Premier League game between West Ham and Manchester United was delayed 45 minutes after fans blocked the streets and attacked the visitors' bus ahead of the final game at Upton Park.

Bottles were thrown at United's coach, dealing damage to its sides as it tried to navigate the final yards to the stadium.

Police acted swiftly to move fans back from the bus.

Man United requested the game be delayed until 8:30 BST/3:30 ET so they could have equal pregame preparation time as West Ham.
