Time.news – Manchester United changes the colors in the stands at Old Trafford to improve their home roster which this year saw the Red Devils win only 13 home games out of 24, between league and cups. The surprising decision was made after some players explained that the red banners covering the empty stands for Covid mingle with the home players’ shirts and can cost a moment of indecision, sometimes decisive. So coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer asked that the side boards and banners be black and no longer red.
Ferguson’s precedent
The British media recalled the precedent of Sir Alex Ferguson who in April 1996, in the interval of a game in which the Red Devils were surprisingly 3-0 down in Southampton, had the gray shirt changed which he said confused the players. his players on a sunny day. The Red Devils returned to the field with the other away shirt, blue, but only managed to score the goal of the flag with Ryan Giggs. United were also fined £ 10,000 for the unauthorized change of currency.
