Manchester United have today pleaded to fans to come to their Champions league qualifier against Hungarian champions Debrecen at Old Trafford. For the first time in recent memory, United will throw open the turnstiles until kick-off in an effort to boost the attendance in a stadium whose 67,500 capacity has already been reduced by the decision not to open the top tier of Old Trafford's massive North Stand. A spokesperson for the club said: "We're delighted we can offer some people the opportunity to see Manchester United play when they may never have been to Old Trafford before or been very occasionally. The fixture has coincided with one of the most popular holiday weeks of the summer."

Old Trafford I personally think Man United fans are right to not attend the game against Debrecen because it would just be supporting Malcom Glazer. I don't think this will change Man United's performance but I think it will annoy the United board. I am still wondering wheter or not Rio Ferdinand will be booed or not tonight because on Monday he signed a new deal but I think some United fans will still be annoyed because he was stalling so much. I think Man United will comfortablly win this tie and I expect them to qualify for the group stages.
