England's most legendary football ground and hallowed home to Manchester United has a problem with critters.

Erected adjacent to a canal, the stadium commonly known as the "Theatre of Dreams" has long had an issue with rodents, but now a local council has accused the club of not implementing industry-standard means of preventing the spread of pests.

A recent hygiene report from investigators highlights several issues with the iconic football ground, identifying issues with food services and pest control.

The detailed report lists a host of problems, with the below image enumerating failures to "implement adequate procedures to control pests within the food areas."

Next time a United supporter cheekily shouts "Who ate all the pies?", the culprit may not be a "who," but rather a "what."

No word yet if the club have made an inquiry into the transfer status of Mouse Dembele.
