text: Video footage has emerged which appears to show Manchester City supporters singing a vile song about the Munich Air Disaster outside Old Trafford. The clip, uploaded to YouTube, looks to have been taken after Sunday's Manchester derby which United won 4-2. It shows police on horseback on the forecourt behind the away section struggling to keep the two sets of rival fans apart. Manchester City fans were filmed singing a vile song about the Munich Disaster outside Old Trafford . Apparently taken by a City fan, it then appears to capture City supporters singing the song which mocks the 1958 tragedy in which 23 people died including Manchester United players. A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said that they would examine video evidence with both clubs to determine whether further action was necessary. He added: 'GMP would like to again stress that the overwhelming majority of fans in attendance behaved impeccably but any reports of offensive chanting, gestures or remarks will be investigated by officers to establish whether any criminal offences have taken place.' Inside the ground, as revealed by Sportsmail, a handful of fans of Manuel Pellegrini's side were thrown out by stewards after being accused of making aeroplane gestures mocking the crash. A host of United greats, including Duncan Edwards, Tommy Taylor and Roger Byrne, died following the disaster which saw their plane crash during a third attempt at a take-off in  wintry conditions.

The plane had just made a refuelling stop on its way back from the former Yugoslavia, where United had played Red Star Belgrade in the European Cup. Among the dead was former City goalkeeper Frank Swift, who was working as a journalist. Police made eight arrests at the derby and praised the behaviour of the overwhelming majority of the 76,000 sell-out crowd. City have worked long and hard to cut out such chants and references. Club representatives laid a wreath at the memorial to the disaster in Munich prior to their match against Bayern in 2011 and urged fans to honour the minute's silence held at Old Trafford on the 50th anniversary in 2008 when they were the visitors.
