Overview

• A Sunderland supporter photographed a live mouse in the away section during Saturday’s match, and the image quickly spread on social media.
• Environmental health checks reported in May found mouse droppings in seven locations, including the Ambassador Lounge, Manchester Suite, Number 7 Suite and under a buffet bar.
• Old Trafford’s food hygiene rating was downgraded to two stars last November, setting off months of remedial work by the club.
• Manchester United says it operates a robust pest‑control program with multiple weekly checks in catering areas and takes immediate action when incidents occur.
• Longer‑term options under consideration include replacing the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand roof or a full stadium rebuild estimated at about £2 billion, with construction logistics posing significant challenges.
