Burnley have vowed to 'identify and prosecute' fans involved in tragedy related chanting and gestures against Manchester United, after condemning footage of a supporter appearing to mock the Munich air disaster.
Footage was posted on social media following Burnley's 1-1 draw against Man United on Saturday.
Clarets supporters celebrated Zeki Amdouni equaliser from the penalty spot in the 87th minute at Old Trafford.
One supporter was seen making aeroplane gestures with his arms towards Man United fans and appeared to say the word 'Munich'.
The gesture appears to be in reference to the 1958 Munich Air Disaster, in which 23 people died on their way home from a European match, including many members of the Man United team nicknamed the 'Busby Babes'.
