Manchester United fans are planning a protest against ticket prices on Thursday after being charged £71 to attend the club's Europa League game away at Midtjylland.
United fans are angry at being asked to pay a premium price to watch their team in what they view as a second-rate European competition.
Banners have been prepared by some of the 800 fans attending the game at the 11,800-capacity MCH Arena.
One of them, created by Thomas Kearney, has 'WELCOME TO SCAMDINAVIA' written on it in black and white letters.
It highlights the fact that United fans have been charged £71 per ticket whereas Southampton supporters were charged just £22 when they played at the home of the Danish champions in the Europa League play-off round in August.
United fans are expected to sing about their annoyance at the ticket charge during the game on Thursday.
'£71 to watch a Europa League game is extortionate,' said Andy Mitten, author and editor of fanzine United We Stand.
