Four fans of the Manchester United soccer club of England were each sentenced to more than two years in jail Friday in connection with clashes with supporters for the Italian club AS Roma.

The four were arrested after clashing with rival fans at a bar Dec. 12, when English side United played Roma in a Champions League match.

The fans were found guilty of resisting arrest and throwing objects which could cause harm.
