Several Manchester United fans attacked Brentford fans before the two sides met on Monday.
The video shows United fans rushing to Bees fans as they headed for Old Trafford before the start.
Rockets were fired, punches and flares were fired in unpleasant scenes in an angry atmosphere, with widespread frustration for the deeply unpopular Glazer family that owns the club.
Riot police were forced to intervene to prevent clashes between fans from turning into utter violence.
United supporters, apparently the attackers, sang loud songs, mainly about the death wish of co-owner Joel Glazer.
They shouted “Gonna die, gonna die, Joel Glazer’s gonna die” while stacking on opposition supporters, only to prevent a direct confrontation due to the MAT circuit and security personnel.
The end of the video shows a long, connected line of police officers wearing masks and helmets to protect themselves from smoke and possible attacks.

“Love United, hat Glazers” and “United are the team for me” were also sung, with smoke from red and green flares wafting around amid anti-Glaser protests over the past month or so.
Once again, fans gathered outside the ground, shouting songs against Glazer.
Earlier protests included fans boycotting the first 17 minutes of the game, one minute for each year the Glazers led the club.
However, on Monday, the fans were called to leave at 73 minutes – 17 minutes before the 90 minutes and the end of the match.
Some Man United fans encouraged others to leave Brentford in the 73rd minute.
The campaign did not have a significant effect, although some fans were spotted leaving
The campaign did not have a significant effect, perhaps due to the team’s success on the pitch in the last home game of the season, although some fans were found to be leaving.
On the pitch, things were more enjoyable for United, who made a dedicated and diligent appearance unmatched by their recent appearances.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring after nine minutes, with the glamorous Cristiano Ronaldo doubling the lead immediately after the end of the hour with a penalty he won.
Rafael Varane scored his first goal for the club with a volley from a corner to stabilize the result slowly.
Glazer critics show disgust with United owners again outside Old Trafford
Many United fans believe the Glazers have not led the club properly since taking over 17 years ago.
There were happier scenes on the pitch, where United beat the Bees 3-0.
Ralph Rangnick retaliated against fans of the disaster who hailed the “fall of Manchester United” in his last remarks as interim manager on Monday, as fans marched to Old Trafford in protest.
The German will now move to a two-year consulting role at United, combining work with becoming the new coach of Austria.
Ranknik oversees the second half of a turbulent season that could end with the team’s lowest points in any Premier League season.
In his notes, Rangnick said: “This season has clearly been very difficult for everyone at the club and from the short time I have been here, I can see how much everyone is in pain. I want to be clear … it is not the fall of Manchester United.
“This is a stumbling block along the way and when you stumble, you have to think fast and clear to regain your balance in order to keep moving. “If we have clarity in our actions from now on, we can take big steps in the right direction.”
Eric Ten Hague will leave Ajax this summer to replace Rangnik, becoming the fifth full-time United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left nine years ago, shortly after winning the league title.
