Metropolitan Police have confirmed they have arrested a Manchester United supporter at Wembley Stadium after his image circulated on social media.
The United fan was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken into custody after wearing a football shirt with offensive printing on the back. The shirt has been condemned by the Hillsborough Survivor's Support Alliance.
Police in London say they have 'worked proactively with officials at Wembley Stadium to identify the individual' before he was then identified.
United were taking on city rivals Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday afternoon in the FA Cup final and the image of the supporter was shared widely on social media.
Metropolitan police tweeted: "#ARREST | We are aware of this and have worked proactively with officials at @wembleystadium to identify the individual.- He has been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken into custody."
The Hillsborough Survivor's Support Alliance responded to the arrest: "Great news, he's been arrested. @metpoliceuk we'll give you victim impact statements as this has affected so many of us."
Erik ten Hag's side were beaten 2-1 by treble chasing City in London after a goal from Ilkay Gundogan in each half. Bruno Fernandes equalised in the first half through a controversial penalty.
