Manchester United To Install Floodlights At Carrington Training Ground

ManU Manager Louis van Gaal "has won a battle to install floodlights at the club's Carrington training ground," according to Mike Keegan of the London DAILY MAIL. Van Gaal "was stunned to find that players could not train after dark at the swish complex on the outskirts of the city when he arrived last summer." He immediately "ordered a raft of improvements including the installation of floodlights." If ManU is "due to play a night match he would prefer them to prepare by training under lights." A club source said, "The manager pays very close attention to detail. By putting the lights in it allows him to recreate conditions much closer to what the players may face." ManU has "had to persuade planning bosses that the development would not disturb the local bat population." However, Trafford council has now "granted planning application and work should start shortly" (DAILY MAIL, 4/16).
