Manchester United have appointed a full-time counter-terrorism manager as part of increased matchday security measures at Old Trafford.
The appointment, which United say is the first of its kind for an English sports club, was announced at a recent fans' forum, according to minutes of the meeting on the club's website.
United's Premier League match with Bournemouth in May was postponed and the stadium evacuated after a suspicious package was found in a toilet.
It turned out to be a fake bomb left behind from a security training exercise at the stadium.
Then in November, two fans on a tour of Old Trafford hid in the stadium in hopes of seeing United's game with Arsenal the following day. They were found and turned over to police.
The counter-terrorism post has been filled by a former inspector from Greater Manchester Police's specialist search unit, according to the BBC.
