Manchester United fans angry at ticket allocation vs. Feyenoord in Europa

Manchester United fans have hit out at the reduced ticket allocation they are receiving for their Europa League meeting with Feyenoord.

United travel to the Netherlands to face Feyenoord in their opening game of Group A, which has also drawn them against Turkish side Fenerbahce and Ukrainian team FC Zorya Luhansk.

The Times reports that United supporters have been granted 1,400 tickets for Sept. 15's game at the De Kuip stadium, which is set to host just half of the usual 52,000 capacity.

The Dutch club are to reduce their capacity in a bid to avoid triggering suspended punishments they were handed by UEFA for crowd trouble.

A statement from the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) read: "MUST and our travelling support are really disappointed about the reduced allocation for United supporters.

"We don't see why our fans should be affected by the police concerns over home fans' behaviour and choosing to reduce their capacity for the match.

"We have also made the point that reducing the away allocation for such an easily accessible game may prove counterproductive and potentially increase security risk if ticketless MUFC fans are in the vicinity of the stadium attempting to get tickets."
