Manchester United Steps Up Security At Old Trafford In Wake Of Paris Terror Attacks

Every single window at Old Trafford will be "covered in clear anti-shatter film to protect players, staff and fans in the event of an explosion in or around the ground," according to Jack Gaughan of the London DAILY MAIL. The move comes as ManU ramps "up security in the wake of last year's Paris terror attacks, with the installation of the sheets at their stadium designed to prevent glass smashing." Workmen are this week making sure "each and every window pane has the film attached -- a huge job given the amount of glass utilised around the stadium." Supporters "are already being given full body searches as they embark on Old Trafford on matchdays, a procedure which came in after the Paris atrocities in November in which 130 innocent people lost their lives" (DAILY MAIL, 1/14).
