United, who were 10 minutes away from the embarrassment of losing to Southampton at home before Amad Diallo's 12-minute hat-trick, disgusted fans in more ways than one.
During last night's match, an X account user claimed that a "rat is at Old Trafford. Yes it's real 😅."
Attached was a video of a field mouse stuck between the concrete floor and the back of a seat in front.
It showed an empty pitch, leaving many to speculate that it was taken before the game or at half-time.

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.
