The Mail has reported that droppings were discovered in a food kiosk along the concourse.
Moreover, additional droppings were found during an assessment of a corporate suite on the ground floor.
Historically, United enjoyed a four-star hygiene rating, just shy of the highly sought-after five-star distinction.
Unfortunately, their rating has recently plummeted to a mere TWO stars.
The rodent dilemma is believed to stem from Old Trafford’s geographical placement between a railway and a canal.
Just last month, attendees observed a dead rat in a puddle beneath one of the seats.
Management has been directed to implement significant improvements to boost their hygiene rating.
They are collaborating with pest control professionals to tackle this issue effectively.

Pest control experts reportedly make up to five visits per week as United aims to secure a full five-star rating akin to other Premier League clubs.
This concerning issue arises just a year after the Red Devils received a ONE-star hygiene rating from inspectors.
