Supporters will not be allowed to take bags inside the stadium for Manchester United's Europa League clash against Anderlecht due to strict safety measures.

Fans of both clubs, including VIPS and hosts attending Thursday's fixture at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, will not be allowed entry with backpacks or handbags.
