‘We can’t fix your leaky defence’ – Manchester United trolled by Checkatrade

Other Sports

Checkatrade have trolled Manchester United with a cheeky advertising billboard near Old Trafford.

The advert claims Checkatrade, who specialise in finding reliable tradespeople, can fix a leaky roof at United’s home ground but not their leaky defence, adding “there are some things that even Checkatrade can’t fix”.

The state of Old Trafford has hit the headlines in recent weeks with the likes of Gary Neville using it as a metaphor to demonstrate how the Glazers have treated the club since taking over in 2005.

United under Erik ten Hag may have their issues but a poor defensive record is not one. They have conceded 16 goals in 12 games, the joint-sixth best in the Premier League.
