Mice spotted at Old Trafford: Manchester United face huge pressure on hygiene
A shocking incident occurred at Old Trafford during the match between Manchester United and Ipswich, when a rat was discovered on the pitch. This is a serious problem that not only affects the image of the club but also makes fans worry about the hygiene problem at the Red Devils' home ground.
The rat causes concern
The incident happened right before the match, leaving many fans surprised and angry. A staff member had to quickly catch and move the rat off the pitch, while comments from the audience showed dissatisfaction with the animal control work. "This is the consequence of stopping the rat extermination service," shared one angry fan. Another fan even emphasized: "This is a reflection of the current state of Old Trafford".
It is worth noting that this is not the first time Old Trafford has had a rat problem. Previously, during the match against Southampton last month, a fan also discovered a rat near his seating area. Experts say the problem may be related to the stadium's location, which is between railway tracks and a canal.

Old Trafford is facing a more serious problem as its food safety rating has been reduced from four stars to just two. This comes after a recent hygiene inspection by the local health authority, which raised concerns about the quality of food management at the historic stadium.
In the inspection report, inspectors noted numerous signs of rats, including droppings in the ground floor suites and the fan food stalls. However, it is worth noting that the areas where rats were found were not where food was directly prepared.
A Manchester United representative has spoken out about the situation: “We have a robust pest control system in place at Old Trafford and we address any issues as soon as they are identified. Our commitment is to achieving a five-star rating as soon as possible.”
This shows the club’s commitment to improving hygiene, but there is still work to be done.
History of Old Trafford's hygiene issues
Old Trafford's hygiene issues have been a long-standing issue. In 2015, rats were found in both the North and South Stands, and even in the staff offices. In addition, the stadium, which was built in 1910, has suffered from water leaks. Images of water dripping from the ceiling during a press conference after a recent 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth became the focus of controversy.

Under the direction of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS group, Manchester United are considering options to build a new stadium or renovate Old Trafford, which would not only improve the infrastructure but also improve the fan experience.
The pressure is increasing
The recent hygiene incident is a strong blow on the image of Manchester United, especially when the team is going through the worst Premier League season in history. With the increasing pressure from fans and the media, Manchester United should quickly overcome the hygiene to protect the fans and trust of fans.
A spokesman for the Trafford Council, which is responsible for hygienic inspection, said: "We have evaluated this stadium 2 stars after the regular inspection and are currently working with the club to ensure all the necessary improvements."
The appearance of the mouse at Old Trafford not only reflects the hygiene problem but also pose a great challenge for Manchester United in maintaining the image of one of the world's leading football clubs.
