Manchester United tighten up security around Old Trafford as heavy police presence deters protesters ahead of game with Leicester just 10 days after Liverpool clash was called off due to stadium invasion

Manchester United have beefed up security ahead of tonight's Premier League clash with Leicester after a heavy police presence was seen outside of Old Trafford ahead of the 6pm kick-off.

It is the first game back at Old Trafford since angry United supporters broke into the ground to protest the owners, the Glazers, which led to the club's Premier League clash with Liverpool to be called off as a result.

Campaigners have warned that more demonstrations could be planned, and United are taking no chances after a number of ugly incidents last week which violent clashes with police officers and unrest outside the Lowry Hotel where the players were staying.
