Manchester United fans the target of an ‘attack’ at a bar in Gdansk

The club have an allocation of 2,000 tickets for Europa League final against Villarreal

Manchester United fans were the target of an attack at a bar in Gdansk on Tuesday night before Wednesday's Europa League final against Villarreal, the Premier League club said.

Video on social media shows a group, dressed predominantly in dark clothes, chanting and running from a bar in the city, leaving tables and chairs overturned.

A different video shows the same venue earlier in the evening with United fans singing on the first away trip allowed since early last year because of the pandemic.

A statement from United said: “Club staff were assisting a number of United fans in Gdansk last night [TUESDAY]and today after an incident where some of our supporters were attacked outside a bar in the city.”
