Manchester United to install new floodlights at Old Trafford and Carrington as Glazers commit to £11M summer schedule of works... while Graeme Souness upsets his neighbour AGAIN over development plans in Dorset

* Man United will carry out work on installing new floodlights during the summer
* Old Trafford and Carrington training ground will benefit from investment of £11m

Manchester United are to install new floodlights at both Old Trafford and Carrington as part of an £11million schedule of works this summer.

Club officials will also oversee the arrival of 1,500 barrier seats as United seek to improve the atmosphere with the aid of ‘safe standing’. The home and away dressing-room areas, long since in need of an upgrade, will also be renovated while a new, Covid-secure digital access and ticketing system will be rolled out.

Fresh pitches and facilities for the men and women’s teams at the training ground are also on the list, while new disabled facilities have already been completed.


Manchester United will install new floodlights at Old Trafford and Carrington this summer. The Glazers' previous failure to invest has been the source of discontent among supporters

The moves come at a time when United’s American owners have come under increased fire from fed-up supporters, with lack of investment in the stadium and facilities one of many gripes.

Indeed, a door smashed by protesting supporters, which allowed them to enter Old Trafford and force the postponement of the Liverpool match last month, was left boarded up for weeks. The door has recently been repaired, with United saying it was custom-made and not ‘off-shelf’.

‘We’ve been trying to get the Glazers out for 15 years without success, so it’s no wonder the club have struggled to do the same,’ one fan joked.
