Manchester United have appointed a former inspector from Greater Manchester Police as the Premier League's first-ever counter-terrorism chief.
According to the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan, the Red Devils have made the move in an attempt to increase security as they are aware their 75,000-seater Old Trafford stadium could be an obvious target for potential terrorists.
The newly installed chief is reportedly coaching stadium staff through "protocols and search layouts," while more female stewards are being employed by United because turnstile queues have become a problem this season with security having been increased, per Gaughan.
