Paper Round: United take security measures against drone threat
Manchester United have employed a security firm to look for drones that may be trying to steal secrets from their training base; Arsenal are preparing a £15m bid for a Southampton midfielder; and Sevilla are eyeing up Juan Mata – the main stories making headlines in today’s newspapers.
United patrol skies for drones: Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has employed experts to check the skies for flying drones at the club’s training ground, according to an exclusive report in The Sun. The Dutchman “employs some very specific tactics and he will go to great lengths to keep them secret”, claims the paper’s source. The security firm will also comb the corridors of the Carrington complex, searching for hidden bugs, after a visitor on a stadium tour planted a bug in the changing room at Old Trafford before a match withChelsea in 2005.
Paper Round’s view: Paranoid much? Well, yes, but it could be warranted, given the proliferation of drones of late – and club’s previous experiences with bugs in changing rooms. And Van Gaal’s secret formula seems to be beginning to work finally, so perhaps it is understandable he would want to keep it under wraps at all costs.
