Following their earlier-than-expected exit from the Champions League, Manchester United were drawn with Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Let’s be honest, it’s not the type of European glamour tie United have been used to in the last couple of decades or so. In fact, their opponents were only formed in 1999 – the year United were conquering all before them on the way to their famous treble.
And now, their fans have learned that tickets for the away leg of the game will cost a staggering £71.
To make matters worse, the cost of a ticket is an incredible £49 more than Southampton fans were charged when they visited the Danish side back in August, report the Manchester Evening News.
Due to the size of FC Midtjylland’s stadium, just 800 tickets have been allocated to United for the game.
Judging by the reaction on Twitter, many United fans will probably not be applying for a ticket in any case…

Glad I can't make FC Midtjylland trip now and hadn't booked – appreciate having to pay but £71 for a @EuropaLeague last 32 is beyond a joke!
