Manchester United and AS Roma will meet again in the Champions League group stage, just months after violence marred their quarter-final clash in April.

Both were drawn in Group F today, along with Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev.
   
A United fan was stabbed in Rome as violence erupted during their first leg meeting on April 4th.

There were also scuffles between English and Italian fans outside Old Trafford before United's 7-1 victory in the second leg.

United chief executive David Gill insists they will head to Roma with no fears after the sides were drawn together.

"What we need to do is do our homework and work very closely with Roma," Gill told Sky Sports News. "I'm sure the lessons have been learned by Roma and the authorities from last year.

"We believe our fans acted very properly and were found to be broadly blameless. I think we need to all to work together to ensure the game is remembered for what happens on the field as opposed to off it.

"We will discuss it with Roma and UEFA to make sure it is remembered for what happens on the field and make sure everyone travels in safety."

He added: "We have got to be confident, we are confident against every team we play. We have a great squad and are looking forward to the challenge of the Champions League immensely."
