Extra police will be on duty for Manchester United's decisive final Barclays Premier League game of the season away to Wigan on Sunday.

Greater Manchester Police are expected to double the number of officers they provide for normal match days in anticipation of a large number of United fans travelling to Wigan even if they do not have a ticket for the match.

GMP Chief Superintendent Lee Bruckshaw said: "GMP has a great record of policing football matches and other large scale events. We are aware of the demand for tickets and are expecting a much larger crowd than usual."

He added: "We have prepared thoroughly and will have enough officers on hand to police the anticipated number of visitors.

"While we do not discuss staffing levels, I am satisfied we have sufficient cover to police all eventualities and to ensure the game and any post-match celebrations pass off without trouble."

The Premier League will share the policing bill with Wigan in light of the extra number of officers on duty.
