  WHAT HAPPENED?

  United's coaches, physios and support team were told they would have to pay for their own tickets for the clash in Bilbao, but reports that the manager has pledged to pay for his team and their families to attend the game to reward their contribution to the campaign. The report says the Portuguese told the club he would cover the costs so that each member, including low-paid staff, could take up to two guests.

  The Red Devils have also opted against holding a bus parade of Manchester if they win the clash with their Premier League rivals and are reportedly set to host a barbecue instead.
