England's Football Association launched an investigation Wednesday after Manchester United supporters were accused of causing substantial damage to Barnsley's stadium by ransacking catering areas during a League Cup match.

Police arrested four United fans and four Barnsley fans as the violence marred the visitors' 2-0 victory Tuesday in the fourth round.

The trouble flared at halftime in Oakwell's north stand, where about 4,000 United supporters were sitting.
