The football season may be over, but there is no respite for the Manchester United grounds team who will continue to work hard in maintaining the club’s various pitches during the summer break.
For the grounds manager Tony Sinclair and his team, the hard graft isn’t just for the hallowed turf at Old Trafford; the surfaces at the Aon Training Complex, Littleton Road and The Cliff also need expert attention throughout the year, including the next six weeks before the players return for pre-season training in July.
Speaking to ManUtd.com, Sinclair talked through the work he and his staff undertake during the summer, explaining why this can be the most difficult period of the year for keeping the pitches in immaculate condition.
