According to the Mail, droppings were found in a food kiosk on the concourse.

While more were unearthed during checks of a ground-level corporate suite.

United’s previous hygiene rating was four stars — still one short of the full five for excellence.

But that has now plummeted to just TWO stars.

It’s believed the rodent problem stems from Old Trafford being squeezed between a railway line and a canal.

Last month, fans spotted a dead rat in a puddle under a seat.

The club have now been ordered to make drastic improvements to bring up their hygiene rating.

And officials have now partnered with pest controllers to solve the issue.

They are believed to be making up to five visits per week as United aim to get a full five-star rating like most Premier League clubs.

The shocking discovery comes just one year after the Red Devils were given a ONE-star hygiene ratings by inspectors.

SunSport revealed guests were allegedly served raw chicken during an event at Old Trafford and subsequently became ill.

United only gained their recent four-star rating in November.

And the rodent incident is a setback in their quest to regain their status as the league’s top club.

Fans have long thought the Theatre of Dreams could do with a lick of paint, with the ancient arena even leaking water during a recent press conference with manager Ruben Amorim.

Ratcliffe is now hoping to build a new £2billion mega stadium while revamping the surrounding area.

And Old Trafford could be knocked down in the process.

What we know about the ‘new’ Old Trafford

MANCHESTER UNITED plan to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Old Trafford.

The decision was made after a number of fact-finding missions to other stadiums including the Bernabeu and Nou Camp.

The cost of the project is expected to be a staggering £2billion.

A capacity of 100,000 is expected.

It is felt that a club of United’s standing should have a new state-of-the-art facility.

The new stadium will be built on land adjacent to the Red Devils’ current home.

United are looking to not only build a stadium but regenerate the area of Trafford where the ground will stand.

There had been plans to KEEP Old Trafford rather than demolish it, and use it as a scaled down second venue.

However, it’s looking increasing likely that it will in fact be entirely demolished.

The club consulted with 30,000 fans about what to do and believe there is roughly a 50-50 split on staying or moving.

The club have appointed the architects Foster + Partners to come up with a “masterplan”. The company were behind Wembley Stadium.

Old Trafford has been United’s home since 1910.

The target is for completion by 2030.
