Manchester United will compensate Barnsley in full for the damage caused by their fans to the Yorkshire side's Oakwell ground during the recent League Cup tie between the clubs.
Yobs trashed a food kiosk at half-time and threatened the predominantly female catering staff. Eight staff were forced to barricade themselves away as thugs leapt over counters, stealing cash and food.
They caused an estimated £10,000 worth of damage which the Mancunians have now agreed to pay.
"Manchester United have been very sensible and have met the whole costs for what happened. They have generously agreed to pay us £10,000, the cost of the damage," Barnsley director Don Rowing told The Sheffield Star.
"It's a very generous gesture and I applaud them. In this day and age we shouldn't have to tolerate what is tantamount to robbery with violence.
"I would stress that it was a small number who caused the problems, they are not Manchester United fans in the true sense.
"I said at the time, and I'll say again, there is no place in our society for scum who break the rules.
"Our catering staff suffered a real ordeal. It was a horrible experience, something they shouldn't have to face when they are just doing the job."
