Old Trafford has been in need of redevelopment for several years, and fans have become irritated with the owners, the Glazers. The American business family have not attended to the issue, but redevelopment plans are in progress.

Manchester United has been put up for sale, and prospective buyers are making renovation of Old Trafford one of their main goals in their potential takeover. Red Devils icon Ronaldo pointed out the issue regarding the club being behind some of their top European rivals in terms of infrastructure. He told Piers Morgan's TalkTV that the Glazers didn't care about the club:

"I thought I would see other things (when returning in 2021), technologiesnand infrastructure. Unfortunately, we see a lot of what I used to see at 21, 22 and 23 years old. It really surprised me.”

One Manchester United fan alluded to Ronaldo's comments about the facilities at Old Trafford when reacting to the flooded toilets:

"Ronaldo was speaking fax."

Former Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard agreed with Ronaldo over club's facilities

Jesse Lingard on the club's facilities

Lingard backed Ronaldo's complaints over Manchester United being miles behind their competitors regarding the club's facilities. The English attacker left the Red Devils last summer and joined Nottingham Forest on a free transfer.

He spoke with Steven Bartlett on the Diary of a CEO podcast about his departure from Old Trafford. Lingard alluded to the lack of progression shown by the club in comparison to their Premier League rivals:

“They’re so behind on everything.You see (Manchester) City’s facilities, Tottenham’s facilities. People are miles ahead. Even the social (media) side of things."

Old Trafford was built in February 19, 1910. It's appropriately titled 'the Theater of Dreams', as many magical moments have taken place at the illustrious stadium. However, the facilities are clearly not up to scratch.
