Man Utd have informed fans that they are no longer allowed to bring 'large electronic devices' such as iPads and other tablets into Old Trafford.
While many might assume that the rational behind the move is to make sure those in the stadium are actually watching the action, it's not. Instead the club are supposedly trying to curb fans' ability to record what is going on.
The club sent an email to fans ahead of Tuesday's friendly against Valencia letting them know about the regulations for the new season.
Supporters cannot bring large electronic devices (bigger than 150mmx100mm) inside the stadium. For example, ipads or other tablet devices and laptops are now prohibited.
It's not just electronic equipment that is banned from inside the stadium. As has been in operation across much of the Premier League for a number of years, the club have also reminded fans that liquids and bottle tops are on the list of undesirable items.
Also please be aware that large bags, large cameras and liquids (with the exception of a small bottle of water with the top removed) are included in our list of prohibited items.
Fans will get a taste of the new rules when United conclude their pre-season preparations against Valencia at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.
