A further eight people were arrested at the match, which United won 3-2, for a variety of offences which a police spokesman described as “relatively minor.”
Skirmishes between rival groups of supporters were reported in the Fintry/Mill o’ Mains area on the outskirts of the city shortly after the game ended.
A number of police vehicles attended the Jet filling station in Forfar Road to stop a running battle.
