MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left shocked after a small part of the Old Trafford ceiling appeared to crumble and fall on them during a match.

United legend Gary Neville recently branded the iconic stadium the “Theatre of Nothing” amid the club’s poor run of form in the Premier League and Champions League.
