Man Utd training ground chaos as ten emergency vehicles rush to Carrington after 999 call
SEVERAL emergency vehicles were called to Manchester United’s training ground after a car rolled down a bank.
A silver car was seen on the “edge of a cliff” which prompted panic at Carrington.
Up to 10 emergency vehicles were reported at Carrington.
Thankfully nobody was believed to have been hurt in the incident, according to Sky Sports News.
A reporter from the channel was live from the scene giving the latest on Man United following an update on Marcus Rashford’s injury.
But he had to explain the chaos unfolding behind him with a fire engine visible in the TV shot.
Reporter Ben Ransom said: “I’ve got to show you the entrance to Carrington where we’ll be talking to Erik ten Hag this lunchtime.
“The scene here is chaos, you will have noticed the fire engine over my shoulder here and that’s because if you swing around, a car has ended up in a ditch here.
“We’ve got quite a substantial response, I think I’ve counted five police cars, an ambulance and four fire engines.
“I think the call initially went into the police was that there was a car teetering on the edge of a cliff.
“There are no cliffs here, that was the old training ground, this is Carrington so mercifully everyone is okay.”
The reporter added that the entrance to the ground was closed, creating potential disruption for arriving players.
Erik ten Hag was also due to host a press conference at lunchtime but it is not known if this will be affected.
Carrington has been United’s training ground since 2000.
Sir Alex Ferguson ordered the development of the new training ground after judging the previous facility, The Cliff, to be outdated.
