MANCHESTER UNITED have promised to subsidise fans for their trip to Barcelona after tickets were put on sale at 102 each.
The Red Devils revealed their Spanish counterparts would be charging the extraordinary price for the second-leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
United claim they will therefore also charge Barca fans 102 a ticket when they visit Old Trafford for the first leg.
And that extra money will go towards subsidising 27 for each of the 4,610 tickets on sale for United fans at Camp Nou.
A statement read: We believe our travelling supporters are again being subjected to increased/excessive ticket prices from the host club.
Similarly to Valencia in the group stages and Sevilla last season, we have taken the difficult decision to charge Barcelona fans for the home leg at Old Trafford the same amount Barcelona are charging for the away fixture.
We will use the additional revenue gained from this to subsidise our travelling support by paying the 27 price difference for each of our travelling supporters.
Meanwhile, United fans are worried that Paul Pogba could be heading to Real Madrid after he expressed his admiration for the Spanish giants.
Pogba said: Real Madrid is a dream for anyone. Its one of the biggest clubs in the world.
There is also Zinedine Zidane as coach and its a dream for anybody who likes football. We dont know what the future holds.
