Big Brother cameras watch over Man Utd training

Hi-tech cameras have been brought in at Manchester United's Carrington training ground as new boss Louis van Gaal closely monitors players, reports BBC Sport. Video analysis has been a key part of the club's summer tour to the Unites States, said defender Jonny Evans.

"I think it is a lot more detailed at the training ground," he said.

"They have spent thousands on it and a few of the lads have seen HD cameras around the pitch. We have this system where he can watch us on the pitch."

The 26 year old said Van Gaal was using the filming to give players detailed feedback on areas such as positioning on the pitch.

"I think a lot of teams use it but we are looking into it in quite a lot of detail," said the Northern Ireland centre-back.

"He is saying 'you should be five yards to the right', we are able to see things that are happening live on the pitch.

"That kind of scrutiny is new to every single player. The case before was that as long as we got the results everything was fine.

"David Moyes would have looked at videos a lot so we got a bit of that from last year." But he added now "we are looking at things in detail".
