Fan shares video of leaking Old Trafford

As though that was not embarrassing enough, a fan - who was among thousands who turned up to watch the match - went on to share a video of a leaking Old Trafford.

While it remains unclear which section of the stadium the fan was seated in, it was clear from the clip the facility was leaking as rains came down during the tie.

The clip sparked reactions among online users, with rival fans taking advantage of the situation to mock Man United while others renewed calls for the Glazer family's exit as owners.

@AidanWalshMUFC posted:

"That's unacceptable man."

@StuartCk6 observed:

"Unbeliveable, all that success under fergie and they seem to be light years away from being a modern club. When you compare to R Madrid you have to question why Man U have seemingly been left behind to rot. I can see a film “the rise and fall of Utd” coming to cinemas soon."

@BatCavePhil added:

"Scandalous this...The Glazers are using this club as their personal bank but, no funds being spent on maintaining the roof. Glazers out."

@Acius concluded:

"Sums up our great club right now an absolute disgrace."

Jadon Sancho spotted at Carrington

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that embattled player, Jadon Sancho was present to watch the U18 team take on Newcastle United on Saturday.

Incidentally, this came at a time when the United first team faced Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in a game which saw them suffer a shock 1-0 defeat.
