November 11 – Manchester United have launched a security review at Old Trafford to determine how a pitch invader during last month’s Champions League match with Juventus got into the stadium with two toy guns.
The guns were not taken on to the pitch but reports say they were later found in his backpack.
“Carrying a children’s miniature plastic toy gun into a stadium is clearly an irresponsible act,” a club spokesman said. “Fortunately, the actions of the pitch intruder at the Juventus game did not harm anyone.
“However, as the security and safety of all fans and staff is the absolute priority at Manchester United, the club immediately launched an investigation.
“This includes a full review of our already rigorous security protocols, using our own security teams together with external expert consultants.”
United have been charged by UEFA over the pitch invasion by two spectators with the case due to be heard on November 22.
