Leeds United have identified a small number of supporters behind Sunday’s missiles in the Manchester United match and passed the information to police.
Items were seen to be thrown in the direction of visiting players as they celebrated each of their four goals in Sunday's match.
Anthony Elanga, who scored his side's fourth goal, went to ground holding his head in the aftermath of the third away goal after being struck by a missile in the southwest corner of the stadium.
A club statement said: “Following CCTV checks conducted yesterday, we can confirm a small number of supporters who threw objects onto the pitch at Sunday's match have already been identified.
“As this is a criminal offence, the images and footage have now been handed over to West Yorkshire Police, who will seek to arrest the individuals using the information provided by the club.
“Not only do these people face criminal prosecution, but they will also be banned from attending Leeds United games pending the outcome of the police investigation. They will then be subjected to lifetime bans if found guilty.
“These people do not represent our loyal fanbase, but there is no hiding from the fact this is not the first incident of this kind experienced at Elland Road this year.
“We want to be clear this is not acceptable behaviour and will not be tolerated.”
