A total of 121 United fans were arrested, followed by 94 for United's crosstown rival Man City and 77 at West Ham. The Hammers occupied the top spot in the list for the past three years. There was also a notable spike in the number of arrests during United's home games at Old Trafford.
'Forty-nine per cent of the arrests of United fans occurred at home games, with 34 of them for public or violent disorder," a report read.
Dethroning West Ham
The most recent season of the PL marked the first instance of a decline in football-related arrests since fans returned to stadiums following the Covid suspension. According to the report, the most common type of arrest was for public disorder, accounting for 32 per cent. Arrests for possession of Class A drugs saw the highest percentage since it became a Schedule 1 offence in November 2022, rising to 19 per cent from an initial nine per cent in the 2022-23 season.
The report also highlighted an overall increase in the number of banning orders. As of June 1, 2025, 2,435 fans were banned from entering stadiums in England and Wales, which is 12 per cent more than the same time in 2024. This figure represents the highest number of bans since the 2012-13 season.
Fans banned from stadiums in the UK may, in some cases, be required to hand over their passports to the police before their club's overseas fixtures. West Ham had the highest number of supporters with banning orders, totalling 112, which is 19 more than at the end of the 2024 season. Manchester United ranked second with 108 banned fans, up from 89, while Chelsea moved from eighth to third place, increasing their banned supporters from 54 to 80.
The most commonly reported incidents were hate crimes. Out of 1,583 matches, there were 420 fixtures where at least one hate crime was reported. Of these, 287 incidents were related to race, 140 to sexual orientation, 20 to religion, 19 to disability, and three to gender identity.

New Delhi: A 70-year-old man who jumped parole four years ago after being arrested for allegedly murdering his two daughters has been nabbed again in northeast Delhi's Sonia Vihar. The accused allegedly poisoned his three daughters, aged four, six and 13 years, in 1999, resulting in the deaths of the two younger girls. He was arrested and granted parole during Covid-19 in 2021, but did not surrender later and fled. The accused was identified as Hamidullah, a resident of Old Mustafabad and father to five daughters. Following the death of his wife, he was living alone with his three minor daughters. The other two daughters were married off.

English Premier League clubs splurge £1.63bn in current transfer window; Liverpool biggest spenders, Arsenal third, Manchester United fourth

From the start of June — when the transfer window opened — until now, English Premier League clubs have collectively spent £1.63 billion on players, a BBC report revealed. Citing data from Transfermarkt, the report added that the last season's top four teams are five of the biggest spenders heading into the new season. Manchester United, who finished a lowly 15th, are the only team from the bottom half who are in the top five, ahead of their bitter rivals Manchester City. Out of the £1.63 billion, a little more than £1 billion was spent by just six teams — Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, in that order. After winning the league last season by 10 points, Liverpool haven't wasted time on bolstering their squad. They are comfortably ahead in the spending spree and have shelled out £269 million so far in the current transfer window. That isn't surprising after they signed German international Florian Wirtz for a staggering £116 million and France forward Hugo Ekitike for £69 million, which could rise to £79 million, as per the report. They have also spent £40.8 million on Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez and £35 million on Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong. Fresh from the Club World Cup title, Chelsea — who finished fourth in the league last season — have spent £212 million so far. Their biggest spending has been on forward Joao Pedro, who was signed for £60 million from Brighton, and Jamie Gittens, the Borussia Dortmund left-winger, for £56 million. After finishing second in each of the last three seasons, Arsenal have shored up their attack with the signing of striker Victor Gyokeres for £63.5 million. Their other major buys have been Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad for £60 million and former Chelsea winger Noni Madueke for £48.5 million. Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, is leaving no stone unturned after Manchester United suffered their worst campaign in the Premier League era last season and have spent more than City. United have splurged £133.5 million so far, of which £65 million was spent on Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford and Brazilian Matheus Cunha for £62.5 million. Manchester City, meanwhile, have spent about £127 million. Most of it has been on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki.
