MANCHESTER
Manchester United have launched a security review after it emerged a pitch invader got into Old Trafford with two toy guns during last month’s Champions League game against Juventus.
Shortly after play started during United’s 1-0 defeat to the Italian champions, a fan ran across the pitch and was restrained by stewards close to the players.
The Daily Mail newspaper reported that security staff later inspected his seat and found two toy guns in a backpack.
Manchester United said the safety of fans was an “absolute priority” for the club.
“Carrying a children’s miniature plastic toy gun into a stadium is clearly an extremely irresponsible act,” a spokesman said.
