Old Trafford leak: Man United keep letting in goals as stadium fails to keep out downpour during defeat to Arsenal
- Images and clips from Sunday’s meeting show old stadium struggling to deal with heavy downpour
- Goalkeeper Andre Onana failed to keep a clean sheet for the 12th time in the past 13 matches across all competitions

It’s leaking at Old Trafford – and not just goals.
Although goalkeeper Andre Onana and the rest of the Manchester United players failed to keep a clean sheet for the 12th time in the past 13 matches across all competitions, there was something even less watertight: the stadium roof.
An epic downpour engulfed the city of Manchester towards the end of their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal and the stadium failed to withstand it, creating puddles and floods inside and outside.
The clips and images that circled the web in the immediate aftermath will be of huge embarrassment to the club amid public discussions over whether to renovate the sacred old ground or build a new one nearby.
Earlier this week, United were valued as the world’s most valuable football club at US$6.2 billion (HK$48.43 billion), which is just as well as investment is desperately needed to tighten up the defence on the pitch and off it.
One particular troubling clip showed water streaming through the seating and area pouring down towards the pitch.
