West Ham v Man United kick-off put back

The start of West Ham United's final game at Upton Park against Manchester United has been delayed by 45 minutes until 8.30pm after the visitor's coach came under attack.

Manchester United's coach struggled to get into Upton Park and was struck by an number of items as it slowly made it through the streets of East London.

Wayne Rooney said the United coach was "smashed up" when trying to enter the ground.

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan said: "I’m gravely disappointed. It’s more for our supporters. They have trains and buses. We have a wonderful, wonderful show after the match.

"Many fans will not be able to stay for that. Man Utd should have got here at 4pm. They made the same mistake at Spurs. I’d make them kick off at 7.45pm. The police have been kind to them."
