Rick McGagh, director of fan engagement, said:
“Wherever possible we believe fans should have a choice in how they watch and experience our games. We supported the reintroduction of safe standing – and are very proud of our work in that area – and we are supportive of this trial to allow fans at our Manchester United Women’s team games to drink alcohol in view of the pitch should they wish.
“The safety of our supporters is always our priority, and we will continue to work with relevant regulatory and fan bodies to evaluate and review this trial as we go. But we know it works well in many other sports, and at other events at Old Trafford such as Soccer Aid, and we hope fans enjoy this additional option on a matchday and it improves their experience at Leigh Sports Village and Old Trafford.”
