Manchester United fans fell onto the pitch after the hoardings collapsed as they celebrated their side’s third goal against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
Red Devils players ran towards the away end of the City Ground after Bruno Fernandes sealed the victory and put United very much in the driving seat of their two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against the Tricky Trees.
The Man United players stood in front of the away end to celebrate in a group as jubilant fans leaned towards the advertising hoardings. Then, without warning, the board suddenly fell forward, with a number of supporters tumbling onto the pitch.

Fortunately, no one appeared to be hurt, as the United players quickly moved away from the fans to allow stewards and police to step in and help people to their feet.
Within minutes the fans were back in place and the advertising board was replaced. Police and stewards then remained in a line in front of the away fans to prevent the incident from recurring.
United went ahead in their first-leg clash with Forest through Marcus Rashford after just six minutes, with the in-form striker firing home after a mazy run.
