Manchester United Reportedly Facing Legal Action over Treatment of Disabled Fans

A series of reported complaints about Manchester United’s treatment of disabled supporters could see the club face legal action.

According to Jeremy Wilson of the Telegraph, fans have expressed their grievances about various issues, with an incident cited that apparently led to a walking stick being confiscated from an 80-year-old Arsenal supporter at United's final home game of the season.

Wilson elaborates in his article:

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has now written to both the Premier League and Manchester United to seek a meeting and “urgent assurances that disabled fans will be treated fairly and equally as the law requires”.
