Manchester United fans face police escorts and public transport ban in Instanbul

Manchester United travel to Istanbul on Thursday to take on Fenerbahce, with Jose Mourinho looking to get his side's season back on track after three league games without a win.

But there are concerns off the pitch as well as on it, with fans set to get a police escort to the game amid security fears in Turkey.
