Manchester United commit to covering £120 cost of Russian visa for EVERY fan travelling to Rostov match

* Manchester United travel to Russia to take on FC Rostov in Europa League match
* All Manchester United fans will need a visa to enter Russia, costing around £120
* The Red Devils face a nightmare 3,744-mile round trip before playing Chelsea
* The club have announced that they will refund the full amount to all supporters
* Mancheter United face paying up to £60,000 for all 500 travelling fans

Manchester United will pay for their supporters’ visas for their Europa League trip to Russia.

United take on FC Rostov on March 9 in the away leg of their round of 16 clash and the club have vowed to refund the £118.20 processing fee for around 500 travelling supporters.

Rostov, located east of Ukraine, is almost 2,000 miles away from Manchester and fans will face substantial costs to follow their team.


Manchester United were drawn with Russian side FC Rostov in the Europa League round of 16

However, Sportsmail understands that United decided to act as a gesture of goodwill given the short time frame between the draw and the match.

Supporters successful in the ballot for the match have been asked to supply their travel details by 8pm on Wednesday and will have their tickets posted out as soon as they arrive from Rostov.

Those who are leaving early can ask for them to be sent to their hotel.
Jose Mourinho’s United, who return to face Chelsea following the clash, had previously moved Moscow to Manchester ahead of a trip to CSKA Moscow in 2015 when they set up a temporary visa service with the Russian Embassy at the club’s Carrington training ground for players and one at Old Trafford for fans.

However, as there is now a visa application centre in Manchester, supporters will need to arrange their own documents.

Fans can then send a receipt for their visa and the club will contact them to arrange a refund.

Seandainya Young di ganti Bailly serta Mikhitaryan di ganti Carrick bakal jadi starting xi "raksasa" menyisakan Blind & Herrera menjadi yg "terpendek".


btw saya ga nonton imbas susahnya siaran UEL.

Kaget dengan susunan formasi yang mengandalkan 3 CB, sudah lihat di highlights 7 menitan dan pernyataan Mou yang katanya 3 CB untuk mengantisipasi direct ball yang di mainkan Rostov. Emmm (imo), dari disisi terjadinya/ proses gol Rostov terlihat Jones & Smalling sama- sama ga kompak untuk menutup pergerakan pemain Rostov.
Kalau cuma dari klip pendek serta pengamatan sotoy saya pola ini belum solid dan semoga dalam waktu panjang ga di terapkan.


btw mayan dapat 1 poin.

Rostov 1-1 Manchester United - PLAYER RATINGS: Ander Herrera adapted best to dodgy pitch but Phil Jones struggled in Europa League tie

* Manchester United secured 1-1 Europa League draw at Russian side Rostov
* Henrikh Mkhitaryan opened the scoring for Red Devils at the Olimp-2 Stadium
* But despite Rostov equaliser, United have the away goal ahead of second leg
* Ander Herrera starred for Jose Mourinho's men in the last-16 tie

Manchester United's pursuit of winning a cup treble was given a boost when they dug in to secure a 1-1 Europa League draw in Rostov.

The Red Devils grabbed an away goal through Henrikh Mkhitaryan leaving the Red Devils hot favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.

Here Sportsmail assesses how Jose Mourinho's men fared on the much derided Olimp-2 Stadium pitch.

MANCHESTER UNITED (3-5-2):

Sergio Romero 7

Not too much to do for the Argentine who certainly could not be blamed for Rostov's equaliser. Was confident and comfortable with shots struck at him from range and that was about as testing as it got for the 30-year-old.

Phil Jones 5

Far from a disastrous performance for the defender but his lapse in concentration allowed Aleksandr Bukharov to net Rostov's equaliser, and he struggled with the forward until his surprise departure.
Direct pass to Marouane Fellaini did lead to United's goal though.

Chris Smalling 6.5

Had very little to do from a defensive standpoint in the first 45 minutes, but otherwise didn't look out of place in United's previously untried back three.
Should have been awarded a first half penalty after being wrestled to the ground while attacking a corner.


Featuring in the centre of a back three, Chris Smalling adapted well for United

Marcos Rojo 7

Much like Smalling, Rojo had little to do but was often alert to cut across and make a vital challenge when Rostov broke through.
Covered the left side of the back three well although he suffered from the poor pitch with a passing accuracy of just over 54 per cent.

Ashley Young 6.5

Saw slightly more of the ball in defensive areas compared to Blind, but otherwise Young had a similar evening to his wing-back colleague.
Had a half-chance at the start of the second half to double United's lead, but shot with the outside of his boot failed to hit the target.

Marouane Fellaini 6.5

Justified his inclusion by brilliantly taking a Phil Jones pass to feed Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the way to United's goal. Aerial presence ensured the Red Devils were never bullied out of a game dominated by direct play.

Ander Herrera 8 (Carrick 90+2)

Kept United's midfield ticking and prevented Rostov from kicking on after the Russian side's surprise equaliser.

United's overall pass completion struggled throughout the side but the Spaniard did well to complete 64 per cent of his 50 passes.


Keeping the midfield ticking Ander Herrera was the Red Devils' star player over in Russia

Paul Pogba 6.5

Not an easy game for the midfielder to make his mark, but the France international was strong on the ball and had the highest pass completion rate form any of the United midfielders. Constantly fouled but kept his discipline.

Daley Blind 6.5 (Valencia 90+2)

Operated as a wing-back and attacked well to provide the width needed to try and open up Rostov. However the Dutchman was suspect with his final ball with none of his three crosses finding a team-mate from open play.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan 7 (Martial 68, 6)

Struck the away goal that gives United breathing space heading back to Old Trafford. Doesn't look fully up to speed yet following return from injury and after a quiet second half was withdrawn.


Mkhitaryan taps home to fire United into the lead at the Olimp-2 Stadium

Zlatan Ibrahimovic 7

Shooting was all over the place, with the ball's unpredictable bounce giving the in-from Swede plenty of problems in regards to hitting the target (he didn't find it once.)

Clever play set up Mkhitaryan's away goal and better nights will surely come for Zlatan.

SUBS: Anthony Martial's pace prevented Rostov from over committing while Antonio Valencia and Michael Carrick were only on for a matter of seconds.

Jose Mourinho insists poor pitch made it 'impossible' for Manchester United after they were held to a 1-1 draw in Europa League clash with Rostov

* Manchester United drew 1-1 with Rostov on a poor pitch on Thursday night
* Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored an away goal which could prove vital for United
* Jose Mourinho was not happy with the state of the pitch at the Olimp-2 Stadium
* Mourinho insisted conditions in Russia made it impossible for his side to play

Jose Mourinho was relieved to get out of Russia without any injuries on Thursday night after Manchester United battled to a 1-1 Europa League draw with FC Rostov.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was on target for a result that makes United favourites to reach the quarter-finals in the second leg at Old Trafford next week.

But Mourinho was just happy to fly home with all his players fit and healthy.

The United manager had been fiercely critical of the pitch at Rostov’s Olimp-2 Stadium on the eve of this match and his fears were well founded as the players struggled to keep their feet on the hard, uneven surface.

‘It was a very good performance in relation to the conditions,’ Mourinho said. ‘It was impossible to play better, impossible to play a passing game.

‘We played what the game demanded and we played well. l remember as a kid some matches like this in Portugal on these type of pitches.


Jose Mourinho was less than impressed by the condition of the pitch in Rostov on Thursday. The playing surface was patchy and cut up quickly during the contest in the Russian city. The Manchester United boss insisted conditions made it 'impossible' for his side to play

The United manager had been fiercely critical of the pitch at Rostov’s Olimp-2 Stadium on the eve of this match and his fears were well founded as the players struggled to keep their feet on the hard, uneven surface.

‘It was a very good performance in relation to the conditions,’ Mourinho said. ‘It was impossible to play better, impossible to play a passing game.

‘We played what the game demanded and we played well. l remember as a kid some matches like this in Portugal on these type of pitches.

'To see my players coping with it and the humility to fight for every ball is a good feeling for me.

‘I said before the game that I didn’t want to go more and more into this. It is done. There are no injuries.

‘The result is open to the second leg and one more experience for every one of us because our football life is full of experience and this is a new one for us.’

Mourinho was particularly concerned about picking up injuries with United due to play his old club Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

United had one scare when star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic fell heavily to the ground but he was able to continue.

Mourinho will make changes for the Chelsea game but vowed not to go back to Stamford Bridge with a weakened team including youngsters from Nicky Butt’s academy at United.

‘Monday we don’t go with Nicky Butt’s team,’ he said. ‘Manchester United is too big, it is the winner of the competition.

‘It is not Chelsea’s fault that we were given this Monday match so after this we have to make changes for sure but we can’t go there with a Nicky Butt team.’
