OLD TRAFFORD could become more fit for undead than Red Devils in the next two decades.

That’s the post-apocalyptic scenario forecasted by AI imagery, unless Manchester United resolves all of their creaky, leaky stadium issues.

Fortunately, United’s minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has highlighted the issue as a critical component of his plans for a huge overhaul both on and off the pitch.

However, the “Old Trafford falls” – a mocking new nickname for the club’s sieve-like roof – has represented the Red Devils’ misery this season.

“You must be soaking” might also be used to describe Erik ten Hag’s squad’s disappointing season.

And Arsenal supporters sang “Old Trafford is falling down” as the Gunners won 1-0 in a heavy deluge last Sunday, with water streaming through the roof at what could now be called the Theatre of Streams.

AI’s doom-laden view of the country’s second-largest stadium in the mid-2040s is the worst-case scenario, which is highly unlikely.

Nonetheless, the photographs serve just another reminder to Ratcliffe of how drastic, expensive, and potentially urgent the restoration must be.

The images resemble scenes from a horror film, maybe titled “The Night of the Living Red”.

Despair and decay characterize the bleak depiction of a do-nothing nightmare future.

The patchwork roof has fallen into disrepair in the dismal picture, and the pitch is filled with rubbish.

Meanwhile, the stadium’s surrounds resemble a dreary industrial site rather than one of football’s most spectacular arenas.

However, before any stadium renovations begin, Ineos CEO Ratcliffe and United’s new board must decide whether to keep under-fire manager Ten Hag.

So, for the time being, the focus is to sort out the reign, not the rain.
