Greater Manchester Police has welcomed the discontinuation of a civil claim against the Force after the FA Cup encounter between Manchester United and Leeds United at Old Trafford.
Before the game, police arrested four men on conspiracy to commit violent disorder.
Around 200 supporters with tickets were escorted to the ground while 131 people who did not have tickets were issued with Section 27 directions.
Following the match a civil claim was made against the Force by 12 claimants, who had claimed the use of Section 27 directions, was unlawful.
The directions, which are a power under the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, are designed to prevent potential 'alcohol-related disorder' and give the police powers to move individuals on from a specified area for up 48 hours.
