The row over Manchester United´s controversial Champions League match with Lille continued to simmer on Thursday with FIFA president Sepp Blatter coming under fire for his criticism of the stadium.Blatter said the Stade Felix-Bollaert in Lens, where United fans were crushed against metal fences last week, should not have been used for a Champions League game.Lens president Gervais Martel said: "This position is scandalous. A number of European matches have been organised at the Bollaert since 1998. Our enclosure fits perfectly with the UEFA regulations and there has never been the slightest incident until English supporters provoked one with fake tickets."
