A heavy storm caused leaks at Old Trafford at the end of Man United vs Arsenal on Sunday and workers have been spotted at the stadium today.
Workers climbing up the outside of Old Trafford today have been carrying out routine maintenance work and painting the steel girders around the stadium, rather than working on any specific issues as a result of the heavy rain that engulfed the stadium on Sunday.
The Old Trafford roof is now notorious for springing a leak when it is hit with heavy rainfall and Sunday's downpour was spectacular. The groundstaff recorded 42mms of rain falling in the two hours at the peak of the storm, compared to 29mms falling in the whole of May last year.ALSO READ: United have found their FA Cup final gameplan after gritty Arsenal performance
On Monday morning workers were spotted abseiling down the front of the stadium from the forecourt while others climbed ladders towards the roof, but club officials said they were carrying out routine work that had always been scheduled for Monday rather than attending to any specific issues from Sunday.
Sky Sports' post-match coverage of the game included dramatic footage of the water pouring into the stadium. United officials admitted that "some parts of the stadium struggled to cope" with the exceptional level of rain and inside the ground the clean-up operation was underway on Sunday and continued on Monday, with Newcastle United visiting Old Trafford on Wednesday.
