Manchester United bans iPads and other ‘large electronic devices’ from games at Old Trafford

Manchester United has revealed amendments to its club policy that will see fans banned from bringing large electrical devices to matches.

The club hasn’t commented on the reason for the move, but it seems like it is intended to stop people from blocking the view of other supporters when using devices during a match, as well as copyright fears.

The news was circulated to those going to watch Tuesday night’s friendly against Valencia, also revealing that large bags, large cameras and large containers of liquid have also been prohibited.
