Manchester United fans to protest against price of Midtjylland away tickets

Manchester United supporters are reportedly planning to protest against the price of away tickets for Thursday's Europa League last-32 first leg against FC Midtjylland.

Around 800 fans will attend the game at the MCH Arena to support the Red Devils, who dropped into the second-tier European competition after failing to progress past the group stage in the Champions League.

Fans are being charged £71 to watch the game in Denmark, which has riled supporters considering Southampton were asked to pay just £22 when they played Midtjylland earlier in the Europa League campaign.

According to The AP, officials at United complained to UEFA when the ticket prices were announced, but the figure was not altered.

Reports have claimed that a banner with the words 'WELCOME TO SCAMDINAVIA' is expected to be unfurled by United fan Thomas Kearney during the game on Thursday.
