Footage circulating on social media appeared to show injured United striker McBurnie jumping and stamping on a Forest fan in the midst of a melee on the pitch.
The shocking clip, which was posted on Twitter by user @brokenkingmusic, appears to capture the supporter in question falling to the floor before McBurnie comes in and stamps on him as he lays helpless on the ground.
The Scotland international was pulled away by one of his teammates and the Forest fan can be seen slowly getting to his feet towards the end of the clip.
A tweet was posted on Twitter which read: "Wish that @oli_mcburnie video was in full context - looks more like he was trying to step over him with one bad leg! Could be wrong!"
