Man Utd's second European away fixture of the season sees the Red Devils travel to Istanbul to take on Jose Mourinho and his Fenerbahce team.
It is a big match for both clubs but particularly the away team given that they are yet to win a game in the Europa League this season.
Erik ten Hag and his men will be cheered on by the club's revered away following but what can the travelling fans expect from the Fenerbahce away section? Our guide below has the lowdown.
Where is the Fenerbahce away section?

Those lucky enough to secure Fenerbahce vs Man Utd tickets in the away end can look forward to watching the match from the left-hand side of the Kuzey Stand. This stand is behind one of the goals at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium and is typically shared between home and away supporters.
The away section wraps around the corner slightly but doesn't breach the Maraon Stand on the side of the pitch. The Fenerbahce away section spans two tiers with fans entering via blocks F, G and H if they're in the upper tier and N, O and P if they're in the lower tier.
What is the Fenerbahce away section like?
The view of the pitch from the away section is excellent as the stadium itself is very compact and steep, ensuring everyone has a good view of the pitch regardless of where they are sitting or standing.
Fenerbahce fans are known for being loud, passionate and at times, dangerous, so the away end can sometimes feel intimidating, particularly if you are situated towards the right of the section near the segregation to the home part of the Kuzey Stand.
The club's most vocal supporters stand both in this section and in the Spor Toto Stand at the opposite end of the stadium. Given the magnitude of the match, Man Utd fans can expect to sample a loud and ferocious atmosphere throughout.

What is the Man Utd allocation?
Fenerbahce originally gave Man Utd an allocation of 2,251 tickets but this fell short of UEFA's guidelines which state all clubs are entitled to a minimum allocation of 5% of the stadium's capacity when playing away from home.
The club challenged this allocation and were given an extra 137 tickets. All of these tickets, including the extra tickets, have now been sold out at a price of £34 each.
