The first leg of the Europa League semi-final takes place on Thursday between Manchester United and AS Roma at Old Trafford.
Tuesday saw fans of the Italian club but up posters around their training ground, showing misquotes from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and telling their players not to let the manager forget them.
On Wednesday, a large group of supporters turned up at Trigoria, to see their heroes off before they travel to England for the match against Manchester United. It had been well organised in advance, with more banners, this time ones focusing on Roma rather than words Solskjaer hadn’t said.
Much of the Italian sport media is covering the send-off, with journalist Francesco Lucca saying there were one thousand fans present.

He also described it as ‘delirium in Trigoria’.
Calciomercato say one of the banners said: ‘Even if you don’t hear our voice, look at the wolf on your chest, Rome is with you! Curva Sud.’
Players then came out to show their appreciation.
