Manchester United is working with police to identify a fan seen making sick tragic gestures during the FA Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Shocking video footage shows a man in the stands turning to face the away end and appearing to mock the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters by mimicking being crushed and pressed up against a wall.

Mail Sport understands United are aware of the clip and are investigating.

Chief Inspector Jamie Collins, Silver Commander for the match for Greater Manchester Police, confirmed the force was working with the two clubs to identify the fan but no arrest has been made.

Ninety-seven football fans died as a result of a crush at an FA Cup semi-final clash between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.
