Liverpool star Luis Suarez is set to return to Old Trafford - to back Ajax against Manchester United. The Liverpool striker is understood to have accepted a ticket for the game from friends at Ajax and intends to be in the stands for the game on Thursday.

An Ajax player told The People: "Luis still has a lot of friends at Ajax and sees no reason why he shouldn't go to Old Trafford."

Suarez refused to shake Patrice Evra's hand in the game at Old Trafford earlier this month following the public race-row between the two players in which the Uruguayan was banned for eight games.

United will not be happy with the news and are likely to ask Ajax to advise Suarez not to turn up for fears of inciting crowd trouble.
