The incident happened when United midfielder Fred went to take a corner in the second half
A man has been arrested after a fan was seen apparently making monkey gestures towards Manchester United players during Saturday’s derby.
Police said they received reports of a supporter making alleged racist gestures and sounds during the match against Manchester City.
A 41-year-old man has been held on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order and remains in custody.
The FA plans to speak to the clubs, referee Anthony Taylor and the police.
The incident happened as United midfielder Fred went to take a corner in the second half.
Supt Chris Hill said: “I hope this arrest shows that we are taking this matter extremely seriously.
“We will continue to work with Manchester City and Manchester United Football clubs on this incident and will investigate any other lines of inquiries.”
