Burnley fans ran onto the pitch after the club's return to the top flight was confirmed, but some appeared to clash with United players.
Josh Brownhill put Burnley in the lead in the 28th minute before Thomas Cannon equalised for the visitors.
Brownhill restored Burnley's advantage from the penalty spot just before half time, with Scott Parker's side holding on to secure victory.
Leeds were also promoted to the Premier League following a 6-0 win at home to Stoke.
Leeds and Burnley both have 94 points with two games remaining, but Daniel Farke's side has a considerably better goal difference.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder said of the pitch invasion after the game: 'We were told by the referee before that we would get stewards surrounding us, but I think they went on the missing list.
'It was quite scary out there in the end, people coming and doing bits and pieces.
'I understand, emotions are running high, but I don't think we got protected by the football club and stewards one bit. The referee notices that as well.'
