There has been a predictably snarky response to Old Trafford’s new paint job

Old Trafford is getting a new lick of paint.

If you don't want to read a piece about the reaction to Old Trafford getting painted, click away now. We're not trying to pull the wool over your eyes. This article will do exactly as it says on the tin. You see, moaning is a big part of being a football fan. When there's no actual football on, they have to keep themselves entertained somehow. Usually, gossip and transfer rumours will fill this hole in between matches. However, sometimes the only thing the discussion requires to get going is a stadium getting painted. Case in point, Old Trafford. To the Liam Lowe's credit, he managed to perfectly capture how mundane the scene is. An overcast sky coupled with a lot of metal and concrete. There isn't a hope in hell of this making it on the front of a postcard. https://twitter.com/LiamL_MUFC20/status/1024205071649853440

Snark week

Football fans are bored. So the news that Manchester United's ground is being painted was enough to keep them occupied for a bit. Mostly by cracking wise. Cue the Richard Keys b*nter vine. https://twitter.com/RSanchez011/status/1018543313878638594 Apparently, the fact that they left this task so late is a sign of how poorly the club is being run. Yes, we're still talking about the paint.  

So they've had since May to paint the place but decide to start 10 days before the season starts? Tells you everything you need to know about how the club is being run

At least Utd's ground has a better name than that of Spurs. https://twitter.com/_Wash99/status/1025027947722428417 Announce... anyone.

Ah thats where the money is being spent on no wonder we havent seen a CB arrive yet.

You can't attract a bog roll sponsor if the paint is faded

Time for an upgrade?  

If Barcelona can unveil a really good looking stadium plan for the future, surely united could do same. I love old Trafford but I do think it needs a face lift as a minimum

Don't worry, the season will start soon.
