Manchester United are to speak with UEFA in an attempt to force Athletic Bilbao to reduce their prices for next month's Europa League tie.
United will get about 2,000 tickets but they have been stunned to discover Athletic intend to charge £77.50 for the tickets.
They have already expressed their concerns to Athletic, but received little sympathy on the grounds that the La Liga outfit intend to charge home supporters exactly the same.
