Manchester United: Disabled fans want netting to protect them from missiles

Disabled Manchester United fans have called for netting to be put up at Old Trafford to protect them from missiles hurled by away fans.

The disabled supporters' section is below where visiting fans are housed.

Manchester United Disabled Supporters Association (MUSDA) says flares, bottles filled with urine, coins and pies thrown by travelling supporters have landed in their section.

Netting was used for Champions League games against Juventus and Young Boys.

Now MUSDA is pressing to make that permanent.
