Feyenoord boss urges supporters not to overshadow match vs. Man United

MANCHESTER - - Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has urged their travelling support not to overshadow Thursday's Europa League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman was asked, during his prematch news conference on Wednesday, about the thousands of fans who are expected to travel to Manchester without tickets for the game. A strong police presence is expected around the ground and city centre.

Van Bronckhorst said: "We always bring a lot of supporters. We want to concentrate on the game -- and want people to be talking about the game only. Hopefully, on Friday, that's all we'll read in the papers.
