West Ham investigate alleged anti-Semitic chants following Manchester United game

West Ham

West Ham United say they will take immediate action to identify fans who were involved in anti-Semitic chanting on Saturday evening.

The Premier League side condemned the behaviour, after a video of fans chanting anti-Semitic songs circulated on social media on following their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

West Ham say they will hand over evidence to the police, and anyone found guilty will be banned from future home and away fixtures.

A club statement said: "We are disgusted by the contents of the video circulating on social media on Saturday evening.

"We are taking immediate action to try to identify the offenders, whose details we will be handing over to the police and will be banned for life from London Stadium and from travelling with the Club.

"West Ham United is unequivocal in its stance - there is no place for this kind of behaviour at our Club.

"We do not want people like this associated with West Ham. They are not welcome at our Club, they are not welcome in civilised society."
