Manchester United have tightened security and become the first club to appoint a counter-terrorism expert, according to the Sun.

The club’s last Premier League game of 2015/16 against Bournemouth was postponed after a fake bomb was left in a cubicle toilet after a drill.

The Premier League giants have become the first to employ a counter-terrorism boss as they recognise they represent a target for extremists.

The role has been given to a veteran investigator from Greater Manchester Police's specialist search unit who has been trained in different covert operations.
