Manchester United faced further embarrassment after their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal when a storm caused a waterfall inside Old Trafford, highlighting the long-standing issue of the stadium’s leaky roof. The defeat, courtesy of a goal by Leandro Trossard, compounded the woes of United boss Erik ten Hag as Arsenal reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League.

The loss marked United’s seventh winless league game out of eight, reflecting a period of significant on-field struggles. However, the problems extend beyond the pitch, with the condition of Old Trafford becoming a serious concern. Despite new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s proposed plans for a new stadium, the club currently has to contend with the aging infrastructure.

Following the defeat to Arsenal, videos and images circulated on social media showing water leaking through the roof and onto seats near the pitch. Fans and observers were quick to criticize the situation, with many calling for urgent action to address the stadium’s maintenance issues.
