Police said the men, aged 18, 20, 26 and 43, were arrested on suspicion of possessing a firework or flare at a sporting event.
It came after reports of a loud bang coming from the away section of the ground during half-time of Saturday’s game, which United won 4-0.
Two people are thought to have suffered minor burns.
The four men were bailed pending further enquiries.
