Officers have studied CCTV of the disorder at last month's game and Cleveland Police said colleagues from South Yorkshire arrested five people on Thursday.

A 19-year-old has been charged with assaulting a police officer, while others aged 19, 31, 34 and 41 face public order offences.

Earlier this week five Sheffield United fans were handed banning orders and were released under investigation.

Cleveland Police said: "Inquiries into the disorder are on-going, with support from South Yorkshire Police and both football clubs."
