The Italian government today announced plans to use stewards to take charge of security in football stadia at all Serie A and B matches next season, with police left to control fans outside the ground.

Have faith: Italian government say there will be no scenes of voilence that marred United's visit to Roma

"We are going to make sure this will not happen again," Amato, a former Italian prime minister, told www.gazzetta.it.

"We must look at these events in fair circumstances, without defending the Italian or English supporters.

"The new protocol is based on the presence of the steward in the stadium, a fundamental point in keeping order which other countries already use.

"With that, we will be capable of distributing the control of the public. The police must exclusively concern themselves with what happens outside the stadium, while the inside will be in the hands of the stewards, nobody else."

United will play AC Milan in the Champions League semi-finals with the victors set to face Liverpool or Chelsea in the Athens final.
