Cristiano Ronaldo came under fire for that bombing exclusive with Piers Morgan just before the 2022 World Cup, an interview that was the first domino leading to his eventual bitter departure.
Among the things he brought to light was the clubs horrendous infrastructure and facilities that he said haven’t evolved with world football, something that evidently has come to pass especially this past weekend in that 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal.
Just as the match was nearing it’s finals stages, the heavens opened and Old Trafford’s frailties were put on display for all to see.
Water could be seen cascading down between the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and East Stand creating a waterfall, a truly embarrassing phenomenon.
A stadium of such iconic and historic stature has no business having a leaking roof and it couldn’t be more clear Ronaldo was only annihilated for revealing the truth.
It was an absolute mess for all in attendance with water flowing virtually everywhere even on the steps of the iconic Sir Bobby Charlton stand and into the Old Trafford tunnel.
It is absolutely shameful and embarrassing how long time owners The Glazer family have neglected such an iconic home and it took a change in management in Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS to make plans for renovations.
The British billionaire formed a committee back in March spearheaded by logistics genius Lord Seb Coe to make plans for refurbishing or renovating the stadium and area surrounding the stadium.
The pictures depicting the famous old ground as leaky and porous as the club’s defense speak a thousand words although there finally is some hope in INEOS.
