Both Roma and United were fined after rival fans hurled missiles at each other and baton-wielding police were criticised for attacking innocent people.

Kicking off: Manchester United fans clash with Italian police in April this year

United have 1,500 fans travelling to Italy for Wednesday's Champions League tie and have given them detailed instructions in which they are warned of the dangers of being ambushed if they walk or take the underground to the stadium.

"I've certainly not got anyone going this year,' said Ferguson, who was shocked at the scale of the trouble last season.

"I'm surprised there are so many fans going after last year's experience and I hope the police have more consideration."

The game is a big chance for Louis Saha to prove he has a future at Old Trafford. The Frenchman has been dogged by a knee injury this season and the club have not approached him about a new deal, even though his contract has only 18 months to run.

Saha said: "It is a challenge to have rivals like Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney but that is what you would expect at Manchester United. I have time to show everyone what I can do."

Ferguson has promised the 29-year-old striker he will be given a chance and has ruled out the prospect of signing a replacement in January.

"Where do I get another Saha?" asked the United boss. "When he's on his game, there's none better. If he can stay fit, he'll get me to the situation that I want, having a good number of forwards I can change around. One beautiful moment could spark Saha off."
