Hundreds of Roma fans descend on club's training ground with banners and flags to wave players off to Manchester ahead of crunch Europa League semi-final first leg at United

Roma fans showed their team exactly how much the Europa League semi-finals mean to them after hundreds turned up at the training ground to send them off to Manchester on Wednesday.

The Serie A giants have not lifted a trophy since the Coppa Italia in 2008 and only have one European honour in the 1960-61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which they lifted by beating Birmingham City.

And it is another English side standing in their way of more glory this season as the team get ready to line up at Old Trafford against Manchester United on Thursday.
