Manchester United have responded to Barcelona after the Spanish club slapped a €120 price tag on their tickets.

The Premier League side will face the reigning La Liga champions in next month's Champions League quarter-finals.

However, the Red Devils don't agree with Barça's decision to set the prices so high and have taken action.

For their first-leg clash at Old Trafford, United will charge Barcelona fans the same price in order to subsidies the cost for away tickets to £75.

"Barcelona confirmed our tickets for this game were to be priced at 102 pounds. In this instance we believe that our travelling supporters are again being subjected to increased/excessive ticket prices from the host club," reads a statement from United.

"Similarly to Valencia in the group stages and Sevilla away last season, we have again taken the difficult decision to charge Barcelona fans for the home leg at Old Trafford the same amount that Barcelona are charging for the away fixture (102 pounds).

"We will use the additional revenue gained from this to subsidise our travelling support by paying the 27 pounds price difference for each of our travelling supporters."

United will host Barcelona at Old Trafford on 10th April, with Ole Gunnar Solskjær's men travelling to the Camp Nou for the return leg on 16th April.

Who will progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League?
