Manchester United 'proud' to oversee changes to improve disabled access at Old Trafford

Manchester United managing director Richard Arnold is proud that he will soon be welcoming more disabled fans to Old Trafford, with the planned structural changes seeing the overall capacity reduced to between 72,500 and 73,000.

Over 300 new positions for disabled supporters are to be built by August in line with the Accessible Stadia guide, following consultation with the Equality and Human Rights Commission and Manchester United Disabled Supporters' Association.

As the changes are being phased in, the design will incorporate reversible platforms and from next season 100 of the 300 new positions created will be used for Premier League and some cup games.
