Seven football fans have been arrested after trouble during Manchester United's Premier League match at Birmingham.

West Midlands Police said there were two incidents of disorder Saturday, one just before the game at St. Andrews' and one during half time.

It was not immediately clear which club the fans supported.

The game ended in a 1-1 draw and saw United midfielder Darren Fletcher sent off in the closing stages for a second bookable offense.

The draw enabled Birmingham to set a new club-record of 12 matches unbeaten in the topflight.
