Rats inside Old Trafford! Dead rodent spotted beneath fan's seat during Man Utd's Europa League win - days after nearby restaurant shut down over infestation

Premier League

Manchester United

Brighton

<p>Following reports that a United-themed cafe close to Old Trafford was recently forced to close <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-themed-cafe-right-next-to-old-trafford-forced-to-shut-down-amid-rat-infestation/blt3ed77fcf76fa57ee" target="_blank">over a rat infestation</a>, it seems the issue has reached the club's famous stadium after a fan posted a photo showing a dead rodent underneath his seat during the Europa League tie against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday evening.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The photo is spreading across social media, with the fan writing: "#mufc will let anyone in Old Trafford for £66, including dead animals apparently."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mufc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#mufc</a> will let anyone in Old Trafford for £66, including dead animals apparently.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A club source has told <strong>GOAL</strong> that United has an external contract with a pest control company, which carries out regular inspections around the grounds. The contractor works with various departments across the club, including facilities management and catering, to try to mitigate any issues.</p><p>However, Old Trafford is located between a railway line and a canal, areas that attract rodents, and the cold weather also entices them to enter buildings and covered areas to stay warm.</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>While Ruben Amorim <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-bodo-glimt-rasmus-hojlund-alejandro-garnacho/blt2eb3e9642305a061" target="_blank">celebrated his first win</a> in charge on Thursday, it's been a difficult week off the pitch after the club announced that some <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-ineos-mid-season-ticket-price-hikes/blt18d2f2026f5ceae0" target="_blank">prices will increase</a> for all remaining home tickets this season. A protest will be held outside Old Trafford ahead of Sunday's game against Everton.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim's men will be aiming to climb from their current position of 12th in the Premier League table when Everton visit this weekend.</p>
