Manchester United to increase safe standing area at Old Trafford this season

Manchester United are to add a further 2,100 safe-standing seats at Old Trafford next season after declaring a trial at the ground to be a success, bringing the total to 6,000.

The additional rail seats will be added in the south west quadrant of the stadium, adjoining the Stretford End and the home of the Red Army fan group, who have been adding to the atmosphere at the stadium in recent seasons.

Installation of the new seats is set to be completed ahead of the first game of the Premier League season against Wolves on Monday, August 14.
