United Supported With Sleep By Mlily

With rest and recovery vital for a player’s preparation for matches, Manchester United stars are being supported in this important process by the club’s official mattress partner, Mlily.

Mlily are redefining sleep performance for the first team, both at home and in the sleep pods at the Aon Training Complex, where the squad can take a breather in a comfortable environment between sessions.

It will be particularly significant as Jose Mourinho’s men continue to embark on a busy schedule in the Premier League and the Europa League during the business end of the season.

One of the club’s sports scientists – Dr Robin Thorpe, Head of Recovery and Regeneration at Manchester United – discusses how Mlily are helping to ensure the likes of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are in peak condition to perform on a match day.

"From a club point of view and for our players, we thought the importance of the regulation during sleep was really high," said Robin, pictured above with Ander Herrera and Juan Mata. "The direct relationship with Mlily has enabled us to come together and bring a product to our players to enhance that sleep performance.

"Players can not only have increased sleep behaviour at home but here at the club if they’re doing double training sessions or they return from games or travel late at night. We’re also going to benefit by understanding more about the sleep patterns and the habits of our players – not just at home with their mattresses but at the Aon Training Complex."

Pomi Khan, CEO of Mlily in the UK and Canada, commented: "It’s a long-term relationship. Obviously we’re working with such an elite team in Manchester United.

"It’s going to go on for years, we’re going to keep on developing products, we’re going to keep on bringing new ideas, we’re going to keep on developing new mattresses and pillows that the general public can use and benefit from, just like an elite player would benefit."
