United fined £14,000 for Rome shame
Manchester United and Roma were fined by UEFA on Wednesday for the crowd trouble which marred their Champions League quarter-final first leg.
United were ordered to pay £14,000 and Roma £30,000 after both sets of fans threw missiles at the Olympic Stadium. An investigation into the behaviour of the Italian police, who clashed violently with United fans, is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the Premiership leaders have upset supporters by increasing ticket prices by as much as 14 per cent for next season — ignoring the trend for reductions at other clubs.
A range of measures have been introduced to cut the price of concessionary tickets, but the most expensive season tickets will now cost £836, up 12 per cent.
Chairman of the Independent Manchester United Supporters' Association, Mark Longden, said last night: "Clearly, this flies in the face of the thinking all over the country, from Bolton to Arsenal. They have all frozen prices and in some cases reduced them. There is absolutely no justification for putting prices up."
