Manchester United fans hoping to travel to Skopje next week for the Red Devils' UEFA Super Cup clash against Real Madrid have suffered a costly setback.

Hotels in the Macedonian capital are reportedly increasing their prices and demanding further payment to those that already have reservations.

Some supporters have been told they will need to pay an extra £500-900 per night to have their bookings honoured.

Locals are sympathetic to the fans’ plight and many have offered spare beds to visitors.

Manchester United fan Nick Horn told local media: "Many United fans booked hotel rooms months ago, hoping that we would play in Skopje.

"Now, they are not respecting the reservations. Hotels are asking us to pay extra money, because the reservations were made a long time ago. The fans were told that they cannot use the rooms, because they have to pay more.

"The good news is that there are many good people in Macedonia offering their apartments to UK Manchester fans stay in their own homes instead."

Both United and Real are expected to take around 10,000 fans to Skopje for the match.

Some have been scared off by the £211-475 per night hotel prices and are planning to stay in neighbouring countries Bulgaria and Greece and travel to Skopje for the match.

Skopje mayor Koce Trajanovski released a promotional video of the city in a bid to welcome United's supporters.

In the video, he says: "The city is ready for this year’s Super Cup in which the two greatest football clubs Manchester United and Real Madrid are going to play.

"For that purpose we made a video in the English language. The goal is to inform the tourists and to promote the beauties of Skopje."

Remarkably, WeTalkIT are offering free accommodation to fans without a bed heading to the Super Cup final next week.
