Seven Manchester United fans banned from football stadiums for three years

It's after trouble broke out before the Reds' Europa League match with Ajax. The group were all involved in violent clashes with supporters of the Dutch team outside The Binary bar in Manchester city centre.

Seven Manchester United supporters have been banned from attending football matches after trouble broke out before the Reds' Europa League match with Ajax.

The group were all involved in violent clashes with supporters of the Dutch team outside The Binary bar in Manchester city centre.

Police were called to the Castlefield hostelry which was badly damaged amid chaotic scenes which saw fireworks set off last February.

They arrested 15 people at the scene.

The following men were handed three-year banning orders by a judge in Manchester on Monday. Anthony Robinson, 42, from Huddersfield,?Patrick Euston, 39, from Bury,?Andrew Hill, 28, from Bamber Bridge,?Mark Green, 39, from Northern Moor,?Mark Knott, 49 from Urmston, Manchester,?Dean Clark, 39, from Oldham?and?Michael Lewis, 26 from Denton.

The court was shown a catalogue of evidence compiled by police which showed the group involved in a string of misdemeanours at home and away matches.

PC Ashley Keyte from Greater Manchester Police's Force Events Section said: "We do not consider these men to be football fans as to do so would be a slur on the vast majority of decent supporters who go to games and behave impeccably week-in week-out.

"Football related violence has no part in modern society, yet some mindless individuals still think it's acceptable to brawl with others for no other reason than their allegiance to another team.

"We work hard with football clubs across Greater Manchester to ensure that those who are convicted are banned from not only the ground of the team they support, but every single stadium in the UK.

"That is the case with these seven individuals."
