Police on alert as Manchester United return to West Ham one season on from nasty scenes at Upton Park

West Ham are confident there will be no repeat of the nasty scenes which marred Manchester United's last visit to east London and are taking no extra security precautions for Monday's meeting.

United's bus was pelted with bottles and other objects in a fans' ambush on the way to West Ham's final game at Upton Park last May.

Despite trouble at the London Stadium earlier this season, West Ham have faith in their 'robust' security measures.
