Old Trafford starts LEAKING midway through Amorim’s Man Utd press conference

OLD TRAFFORD has started LEAKING midway through Ruben Amorim's press conference.

The leak started after the Red Devil's 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.

Amorim, 39, was addressing the media following the shambolic performance.

But the Portuguese manager was interrupted when water started coming through the ceiling.

The leak was caught on camera by the media in the room and shared on social media.

Water could be seen dripping from a gap in the ceiling by the lighting while Amorim spoke about the match.

Fans have reacted to the leak on social media with many saying it is the "perfect metaphor".

One posted: "Even the ceiling is crying at the downfall of this club."

A second wrote: "It’s their fans tears."

A third commented: "A metaphor if ever I saw one."


A fourth said: "Sums the state of the club up right now."

Another added: "Leaks in our defence, leaks on the roof, leaks from the dressing room."

In the match, Manchester United were second best for most of the 90 minutes.

Dean Huijsen headed the visitors into the lead after escaping marker Joshua Zirkzee in the 28th minute.

Noussair Mazraoui was then at fault in the 60th minute as he gave away a reckless penalty for a foul on Justin Kluivert.

The Dutchman converted from the spot to double the visitor’s lead.

Antoine Semenyo then made it 3-0 two minutes later as he finished off a great move from the Cherries.

It is not the first time Old Trafford has seen leaks emerge from its roof.

Back in May, a deluge of rain poured down during the club's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

The rain caused the stadium's roof-draining system to overflow.

Former club CEO David Gill has insisted that the roof of the historic ground has been leaking for over a decade.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen on updating Manchester United's stadium, which has fallen into disrepair.

There is currently a £2billion dilemma between rebuilding Old Trafford or moving into an entirely new ground.

Meanwhile, Amorim left Marcus Rashford out of the matchday squad again.

It follows the forward admitted that he is "ready for a new challenge" ahead of the January transfer window.
