ManU Hopes To Install Ring Of Steel Around Aon Training Complex

ManU will reinforce its training ground "in the wake of the ongoing terror threat," according to Mike Keegan of the London DAILY MAIL. The club applied for planning permission to "effectively install a ring of steel around the Aon Training Complex." New gates, barriers and bollards -- aimed at preventing unauthorized vehicles or persons to get close to where Manager José Mourinho "puts his players through their paces" -- have been ordered as ManU looks to "beef up security" at its Carrington base. The move comes after the terror attack on Manchester Arena in May. It is one of the "host of measures called for after a wide-ranging review by senior club officials." ManU declined to comment on the move, however the club is reportedly "confident that permission will be granted" and that it will be able to start work in the near future (DAILY MAIL, 8/30).
