Man Utd’s problems laid bare with WATERFALL flooding through Old Trafford’s leaky roof as heavens open vs Arsenal


MANCHESTER UNITED were ridiculed for their leaky Old Trafford roof after a storm created a waterfall in the stadium following their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Leandro Trossard’s goal piled more misery on Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag as the Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League table and heaped pressure on Manchester City in the title race.

For Man Utd it is now one win from eight league games.

But the on-field issues only scratch the surface of the problems at Old Trafford.

While new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues to make changes to personnel at the club, the stadium remains a serious concern.

The “leaky” roof has been mocked for some time – with the condition of the ageing gantry a point raised by fans last month.

While Ratcliffe has proposed the idea of building a new stadium, Man Utd are currently left with the depleted Old Trafford.

And the gaping flaws in the ground were on full show just moments after the final whistle on Sunday.

A huge amount of water could be seen leaking through the roof and down onto seats next to the pitch as the heavens opened.

This led many football fans to chime in with their responses on social media.
