Manchester United to Pay Visa Cost for Fans Going to Russia for FC Rostov Match

Manchester United have announced they will pay for their travelling fans’ visas when the club fly to Russia to face FC Rostov in the UEFA Europa League.

Mike Keegan for the MailOnline reported the club will pay “the £118.20 processing fee for around 500 travelling supporters.”

The away leg of United’s round-of-16 tie takes place on March 9, as the Red Devils make the 2,000-mile trip across Europe.

Keegan wrote:

"

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.

"

Supporters will need to arrange their own documentation, as there's now a visa application centre in Manchester.

United will refund the amount for travelling fans after they contact the club with receipt details.
