Following their 1-0 loss to Arsenal, Manchester United was subjected to derision for their Old Trafford roof, which was leaking. This occurred after a storm caused a waterfall to appear inside the stadium.
As the Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League table and increased the amount of pressure they are putting on Manchester City in the fight for the title, Leandro Trossard scored a goal that made things much worse for Erik ten Hag, the manager of the Red Devils.

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.
One said: “This is so embarrassing .”
Another added: “Build a new stadium man.”

A third replied: “When it rains, it pours.”
While a fourth responded: “So embarrassing from any club, let alone Manchester United.”
And a fifth said: “Everything is leaking at this club on and off the pitch.”
