Manchester United are to trial safe standing at Old Trafford.
In a historic move, the club will install 1,500 rail seats early next year as part of an initial trial.
United have been well aware of fan support for safe standing for some time and carried out a ‘detailed and comprehensive study’ into the matter last year.

Rail seats are essentially seats with built-in safety barriers to allow safe standing.
Each metal seat is incorporated within a robust metal frame that forms a waist-high rail for the spectators in the row behind.
