The man, later identified by AC Milan as their team doctor Armando Gozzini, was being questioned by police.

In a statement released at Old Trafford shortly before the match kickoff, AC Milan expressed "its full confidence" in club doctor Armando Gozzini.

"Doctor Gozzini is a man of the highest professional and moral standing," said the club.

"AC Milan believe it is inconceivable that he could have been involved in the action for which he has been charged.

"The club hopes to see a swift and satisfactory conclusion to this matter."
