Manchester United has ordered for the 'miraculous' padding suit designed by former Liverpool player to bring back injured players to full fitness more quickly.
The innovative aqua suit has been designed by Terry Nelson and has previously helped Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo back from injury in double-quick time and is expected to help the Man-U squad an edge this season.
Nelson, 51, hit upon the idea of creating a Nylon, lycra and strategically-placed foam padding suit, which lifts players into a vertical stance for exercise in swimming pools, after a suffering a series of crushing health problems, Daily Express reports.
He explained that the flotation belt brings the players back from injury a lot quicker because they don't have to rest, they can run very early in their recovery and added that Man-U liked the innovation and have asked to be taught specific training techniques after he gave them a demonstration.
The report said that Real Madrid were the first to use the pioneering apparel but it is now also used by Roy Hodgson's England team.
