The FA are set to announce that they have fined West Ham a record £100,000 for the crowd trouble that occurred during last March's 3-0 defeat against Burnley at the Olympic Stadium.
However United will not face any further punishment from the governing body as a result of the mass protest that broke out during the second half of the match.Embed from Getty Images
An FA investigation into the disturbances began last summer with the club being charged with failing to control its supporters. That investigation has now been concluded, writes Matt Hughes for The Times, with the club set to be fined an undisclosed amount.
The Stratford protests were sparked by the heavy defeat, although anger at the Board's running of the club has been building for several months prior to the day in question.
A planned anti-Board march, to which thousands of supporters from across the globe had been due to attend, has been cancelled just days before.
That eleventh-hour cancellation angered many supporters who were determined to demonstrate their dissatisfaction at the Board's handling of the move from Upton Park to E20 - a move that was referred to by vice chairman Karren Brady in 2016 as "the most successful stadium migration in history".

And that eventually manifested itself in the unruly scenes during the Burnley match, which saw hundreds of supporters congregate in front of the Directors Box in order to voice their discontent at co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold and vice chair Brady - all of whom left their seats.
Since the protests took place, the Board have invested heavily in the playing squad - to the tune of circa £100million, a record expenditure - and hired the vastly experienced and enormously popular Manuel Pellegrini as manager.
Yet despite the improvements, there remains an undercurrent of distrust between the Board and supporters.
Back in August the club banned the Editor of KUMB.com - West Ham's most visited independent website - from attending all media events, citing "unnecessarily negative coverage" as the primary reason.
Meanwhile the club have also refused to engage with the fanbase's ISA (Independent Support Association), which boasts in excess of 4,000 paid members and (like KUMB) is affiliated to the Football Supporters' Federation.
