A murder investigation has been launched after human remains were found near Manchester United's training academy.

In a disturbing development, the vicinity surrounding Manchester United's renowned training ground in Greater Manchester has been sealed off following the discovery of human remains.

The shocking find, made just yards from the club's prestigious training academy, has ignited a murder investigation that has sent shockwaves through the local community in Salford and beyond.

According to reports from the Telegraph, the closure of the area surrounding Manchester United's academy was prompted by the grim discovery of human remains wrapped in plastic, found in the woodland at Kersal Dale in Salford.

The discovery, made by a vigilant member of the public, has raised grave concerns, leading to the involvement of Greater Manchester Police.

Upon examination by a pathologist, the remains were confirmed to be human, prompting Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes of Greater Manchester Police to emphasise the urgent need for community cooperation and information to aid in the investigation.

The authorities have underscored the significance of potential witnesses stepping forward with any relevant information regarding suspicious activities in the Kersal Dale area.

The closure of the region to the public underscores the gravity of the ongoing investigation. With no arrests made as of yet and the victim yet to be identified, efforts are focused on unraveling the circumstances surrounding this tragic discovery.

An appeal has been issued for individuals with any information to come forward and assist the police in shedding light on this distressing situation.
