Four Manchester United fans face spending Christmas in an Italian jail after being sentenced over football violence offences.

The four men were convicted for their part in clashes between United and Roma football fans earlier this month.

Kyle Dillon, 23, and Richard Wimmer, 39, were both handed sentences of two years and six months.

Nicholas Lucas, 18, and Michael Burk, 35, were jailed for two years and five months each.

According to police in Rome the four supporters were part of an organised gang that fought Roma fans ahead of the two team's 1-1 draw on December 12th.

Clashes broke out between rival supporters on the Duke D'Aosta Bridge outside the Stadio Olimpico, leading to five United fans being stabbed.

The four men are permitted to appeal against their sentences twice before being imprisoned.
