Manchester United have set another UEFA Europa League attendance record after 73,063 turned out at Old Trafford to watch Manchester United beat Fenerbahçe 4-1 on matchday three.

That smashed the group stage record of 57,000 set when Dortmund hosted Gabala last year, and means United have now had three of the competition's top four attendances. Among them is the overall record of 75,180, the crowd for March's round of 16 second-leg meeting with Liverpool.
