Manchester United are increasing the personal security around vice-chairman Ed Woodward ahead of deadline day.
The Mirror says security around Woodward will be beefed up around transfer deadline day – with fears the Manchester United chief executive could again be a target for irate fans.
A 20-strong mob of thugs sprayed paint at Woodward's Cheshire house and threw flares and a smoke bomb in an attack on his property at the end of the last window in January.
The so-called fans were said to be angry at a lack of transfer activity, even though United were close to sealing a £47million deal for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes at the time.
Now, with United struggling to match the spending of some of their top-six rivals in the current window, there has been mounting anger again by supporters who are frustrated at a failure to land No.1 transfer target Jadon Sancho.
It is understood that since the January attack the level of security at Woodward's Cheshire home has gone up.
And it's believed it will be in full force during in the coming days with the window closing on Monday.
