The Glazer family are reportedly hopeful of incorporating augmented reality wearables on Manchester United players.

United's American owners are said to be keen on technology that allows supporters to watch games as if from the perspective of their favourite stars thanks to cameras worn on each player's body.

According to a report from ESPN, the concept was championed within the club as a potential source of revenue by former United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

'The big idea, or maybe the big hope, that the Glazers have - and this was driven by Ed Woodward - is the emergence of Augmented Reality,' a source told the US publication.
