Manchester United are switching dugouts at Old Trafford at Erik ten Hag's behest. Ten Hag recommended the home dugout be switched to the west section of the stadium earlier this month and United have agreed to his request ahead of their home friendly with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
Since the dugouts were raised with step access in the early 90s, United have occupied the east section and are relocating after 30 years.

The away dugout will be closer to the away supporters, housed in the south-east corner of Old Trafford. Sir Alex Ferguson had the stadium dugouts revamped in the first years of his reign to provide him with a tactical vantage point.
Ferguson used to watch the first-half of away matches from the directors' box in the 90s. Ten Hag visited Old Trafford for the first time in his life in May when he was introduced to the press.
