Uefa is investigating the crush scare involving Manchester United fans at the Champions League tie against Lille.
United supporters appeared to be pushed against a 10-foot high metal fence and at least two people had to be lifted over the barriers to safety.

Riot police then fired tear gas and swung truncheons at those who were trying to climb over the fence.

The Old Trafford club are appealing for eye-witness reports to the incidents at Lens' Stade Felix-Bollaert.

Having seen what went on on the security side and in the match itself, it would be standard procedure for the referee to report the incidents

Uefa spokesman Rob Faulkner

"We have obviously received a lot of information from various sources but we would welcome any more detail from fans in the affected area," said United director of communications Phil Townsend.

United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar suffered double vision as a result of the tear gas fired into the stand.

Television reports suggested the gates at the back of the stand had been opened by police to allow Red Devils supporters with tickets for the home section of the stadium to sit with their own fans.

This was terrible, the fans were trying to get over to safety near the beggining of the match and sercurity were sending them back again.
