MANCHESTER United's security will be tested to the limit when the Champions League Final is played at Old Trafford in a fortnight.
Victory by AC Milan over their city rivals Inter Milan has guaranteed the attendance of at least one world leader.
Silvio Berlusconi is both the club's president and Italy's highly controversial prime minister.
An all-Italian final will provide big difficulties for police and club stewards because of the sheer scale of the event - one of the biggest in western sport - and the continuing threat of international terrorism.
While it is quite unusual for high profile politicians to advertise the fact that they will be on show at Old Trafford, it is not at all unusual for them to visit unannounced.
