Uefa has opened disciplinary cases
against Marseille and Manchester United because of their
fans' behaviour at their Champions League match on
Wednesday.
Uefa says it is investigating reports that Marseille fans shone
a laser pen at Nani to distract the United winger at the Stade
Vélodrome in the first leg of the round of 16 match.
Three years ago, Uefa fined the French champions, Lyon, €3,200
(then £4,240) for "incidents of an unsporting nature" when their
fans aimed a laser beam at Cristiano Ronaldo, who then played for
United.
Uefa is also studying reports that Manchester United fans broke
competition rules by lighting flares in the stadium during the
match, which ended 0-0. Uefa's disciplinary panel will hear the
cases on 17 March.
