"If you are on an organised trip your ticket will be your visa" - David Gill

They will need visas but Champions League organisers Uefa are in negotiations to speed up the process.

Manchester United chief executive David Gill said: "The visa issue has been there for a while. We had discussions with Uefa and the local organising committee along with the other semi-finalists.

"If you are on an organised trip your ticket will be your visa.

"The actual specifics and fine details will be addressed in the next day or so and then we will communicate with the fans."
