Manchester United have created a stink – by lacing the Old Trafford pitch with garlic to remove worms from their new playing surface, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People.

The Red Devils’ ground-staff have sprayed the entire pitch with a strong garlic liquid to aid the development of the new grass being installed for next season.

Visitors on the popular stadium tour were met with a strong aroma and were amazed to discover the pitch had been sprayed with garlic.

The move is to fight off parasitic roundworms, which live in the loose sand under the pitch and can ruin the surface.

Before the new pitch – which can cost up to £200,000 – can be laid, the worm problem had to be controlled, so award-winning head groundsman Tony Sinclair and his staff put down the garlic to bring out the worms.
