Baton-wielding riot police laid into United fans in the Stadio Olimpico after trouble broke out during the match.

UEFA communications director William Gaillard told PA Sport: "I only saw glimpses of what went on, I saw some missiles flying and the police charging. We will be waiting for the delegate's report and the disciplinary body will be looking at the television images to see what actually happened."

Roma could face action if they are judged to have failed in their security arrangements.

But if United fans are found to have a played a significant role in provoking the police's reaction, they could be in trouble - especially as only last month they were fined for the misbehaviour of some supporters in Lens during the Lille game.

Gaillard said the police's response would be studied by UEFA.

He added: "In Italy, the police are in charge of security in the stadium, stewards have nothing to do with it.

"We will also have to see what role Manchester United fans had in the incidents because they had some problems in Lens earlier this year."

UEFA are not expected to make a decision on disciplinary action until after the Easter weekend.
