Pictures showed police grappling with Spanish fans as they attempted to defuse the situation.
And order was quickly restored as relieved stewards continued to form a wall in front of the United end.
Fans on social media reacted with disgust to the behaviour of the Betis supporters.
One said: “Should be getting banned from European competition, obviously governing bodies too weak to enforce a ban.”
Another declared: “They’re so bitter, enjoy the flight.”
One noted: “Should be arrested and brought before a judge in the morning.”
Another added: “Don’t worry I’ll get a seat from Betis and bring it home to replace that one.”
