MANCHESTER UNITED fans came up with a cheeky chant during their clash with Liverpool after one of the roofs at Anfield started LEAKING.
The Red Devils faithful have become accustomed to seeing the roofs of the ageing Old Trafford stands leak when serious downpours occur.
So they took great pleasure in seeing leaks at the home of their bitter rivals Liverpool last Sunday.
Footage shared on social media showed streams of water dripping from one of the stands during the match.
And the leaks prompted the travelling United fans to mock their sworn enemies’ famous home.
They repeatedly chanted: “Anfield’s falling down, Anfield’s falling down!”
Footie fans were quick to comment, with one saying: “New roof as well.”
Another said: “Anfield roof leaking and it’s supposedly brand new.”
And another said: “Anfield leaking like a tap! Isn’t that supposed to be their new stand?”
It’s unclear whether the leaking water dripped onto the fans in attendance, who were treated to a pulsating second half of football.
The fierce rivals shared the points thanks to a 2-2 draw.

Andre Onana – 7
Saved well from Alexis Mac Allister early on and looked strong on set-pieces – could do nothing about either goal and almost stopped Mo Salah’s penalty.
Another two saves right at the death helped his men earn a point.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Strong performance to help frustrate Liverpool and produced important interceptions and tackles to clear danger.
Matthijs de Ligt – 7
The Dutchman was another impressive member of the back three and seemed on a mission not to leave Anfield without a share of the spoils.
Harry Maguire – 7
Marshalled the defence well and won several big tackles and clearances.
Had his day spoiled by a yellow card for what looked to a be another great challenge and then blazed over right at the death.
Lisandro Martinez – 7
Excellent alongside the rest of the back three and finished his strike like a seasoned striker.
Diogo Dalot – 7
Played on the front foot and was an attacking threat throughout but landed himself a booking for a needless and blatant foul on Mo Salah.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7
Great defensive and compact display as he got the better of his England rival Curtis Jones in front of Thomas Tuchel.
Was only taken off after United fell behind as his manager went more offensive.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Just got caught out of position and was punished for Cody Gakpo’s goal, which marred an otherwise hard-fought and disciplined display.
Amad Diallo – 7
Turning into a man capable of producing big moments after another crucial strike. Had messed up twice in two earlier attacks but took his goal superbly.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
The skipper was on top form for the Red Devils both defensively and with the ball.
Led his team well and fully deserved at least a point.
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
Came underfire for slack marking from Fernandes early doors then blew a big chance after beating the offside trap – a chance you NEED to take at Anfield.
Struggled to make much of an impact with the ball.
Lisandro Martinez broke the deadlock in the 52nd, firing the visitors into the lead with a beautiful near-post finish.
Cody Gapko levelled the scores seven minutes later with a scintillating strike seven minutes later.
Mohammed Salah looked to have won the game for the Reds from the penalty spot in the 70th minute.
But Amad Diallo made sure the spoils were shared ten minutes later with a neat finish from inside the penalty box.
United boss Ruben Amorim was thrilled with his struggling troops’ mentality but said: “I get more mad because of the other games.
“It’s even harder to understand some things.
“This is not about the system, the technique, it’s about something else…
“I am upset today, really upset. I am pleased with the performance but everyone today is going to say that the team did a good job.
“Today I am allowed to be the only guy upset with the team — but today we were a team.
“We had some good games during this last month but then we dropped again.
“It’s something that we need to be really consistent.
“We had this talk after (winning against) Manchester City, it was the same.
“I want to see my team play so much better.
“But I think the most important thing to address today is the mentality and that is the key for everything.
“Today we were a different team not because of the system, not because of a technical or tactical aspect.
“We faced the competition in the way we are supposed to face every day.
“Training and match, it doesn’t match the place, the opponent, we need to face every day like that.”
