ANDY Burnham says there is a 'win-win opportunity in the redevelopment of Old Trafford - but it's up to the club to find the money for stadium redevelopment.

The mayor of Greater Manchester was at United's recent home loss to Arsenal, which was followed by heavy rain that created 'a waterfall' off the stadium roof.

Images on social media also showed water flowing down the stadium steps next to seating.

Mr Burnham attended the game with several high-profile figures including Lord Coe, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Sir Dave Brailsford, Sir Keir Starmer and Manchester council leader Bev Craig. Some of those sit on the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force, a United-led panel to oversee the redevelopment of the area.
