Following their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, Manchester United faced ridicule as their leaky Old Trafford roof turned into a waterfall during a storm. Leandro Trossard’s goal added to the woes of Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag, as the Gunners reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League table, intensifying the pressure on Manchester City in the title race.

Man Utd’s struggles continue with just one win in their last eight league games, highlighting on-field issues that only hint at the deeper problems at Old Trafford.

Despite new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe making personnel changes, the stadium remains a significant worry. The long-standing issue of the “leaky” roof has drawn ongoing mockery, and concerns about the condition of the aging gantry were raised by fans just last month.

As Ratcliffe considers the possibility of constructing a new stadium, Manchester United is currently grappling with the shortcomings of the aging Old Trafford.

Shortly after the final whistle on Sunday, the stadium’s significant flaws were starkly apparent. A substantial amount of water leaked through the roof, cascading down onto seats adjacent to the pitch as the heavens opened up.

The spectacle prompted a flurry of responses from football fans on social media, highlighting the widespread concern over the stadium’s condition.

One said: “This is so embarrassing .”

Another added: “Build a new stadium man.”

A third replied: “When it rains, it pours.”

While a fourth responded: “So embarrassing from any club, let alone Manchester United.”

And a fifth said: “Everything is leaking at this club on and off the pitch.”
