UNITED WE STAND
Old Trafford's safe standing would be in the East Stand corner of the historic ground, or in the old 'Clock End'.
United are looking at becoming the first English club to install safe standing rails at the Theatre of Dreams.
While it might seem logical to so in the Stretford End, after creating a singing section at the 76,000-seater ground, this is where the safe standing section would be.
Up to 1,500 fans could be the first to benefit from safe standing and United have been one of the major supporters of a move from all-seating after listing to fans.

POCHETT DIAL
Mauricio Pochettino was spotted alongside Manchester United's new PR advisor Neil Ashton at Brentford's draw with Leeds last night.
The Argentine, who has been out-of-work since he was axed by Tottenham in November, has been heavily linked with replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.
And the pictures of the pair together, as well as footage during the live Sky Sports coverage, sparked wild speculation on social media.
SunSport understands Ashton was at the game as a guest of Brentford and was not there in a professional capacity.
Ashton was appointed by United's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward as a consultant last month.

Six senior players, including top earners Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, are out of contract in less than 18 months’ time.
