How Man Utd upgraded their swimming pools after Ronaldo raised alarm

 

Manchester United chiefs have acted after complaints from Cristiano Ronaldo over the state of their swimming pools.

The Mirror says Ronaldo has forced a revamp of United’s training ground swimming pool – after complaining it was old and a health hazard.

The United striker told bosses at the club’s Aon training complex at Carrington he didn’t want to use the main pool and plunge pool – because loose, chipped and missing tiles made it a danger. And he urged the club to re-tile and refurbish both pools telling them he couldn’t believe it hadn’t changed in the TWELVE years he’s been away from Old Trafford.

Club bosses took his complaints seriously – and ordered remedial works on the pools which will be upgraded in time for pre season training which starts in mid July. The 37-year-old star – United’s top scorer last season with 24 goals – is said to have been disappointed by the declining standards in facilities both at Carrington and Old Trafford since his shock return last summer.

And the pools in the main building of the training ground have been on his hit list since re-signing.

It’s believed the Portuguese icon made sure his rented home in Cheshire had an indoor swimming pool so he could perform water-based exercises without having to use the Carrington pool. Pool-Gate is the latest in a series of issues with facilities at the club.

It’s understood the club has also spent in excess of £200,000 installing a new boiler system at the training ground after problems causing intermittent hot and cold water affected the training ground last winter.
