The United Cafe and the adjacent business, Legends, have been temporarily closed due to a pest problem. It was discovered that there was a rat infestation in the area, which is in close proximity to the famous Old Trafford stadium. This particular cafe, known for its Manchester United theme, received a 0-star food hygiene rating after an inspector found evidence of rats. As a result, the cafe made the decision to shut down voluntarily until the issue was resolved.
Located on Sir Matt Busby Way, the United Cafe proudly displays the club's colors and logo. It has become a popular spot for fans heading to games, with many leaving rave reviews on Tripadvisor. However, after the rat infestation was discovered, the cafe was ordered to undergo a deep clean, daily pest checks, and proofing work to prevent future infestations.
The inspection was carried out by a food hygiene inspector on August 19, after reports of rat activity in the area. Both the United Cafe and the neighboring Legends were closed voluntarily during this time. The report released by the council stated that the pest problem had to be addressed before the businesses could reopen. Trash, including a sofa and pizza box, were found in an alleyway next to the cafe, adding to the problem.
The inspection resulted in a 0-star rating for the United Cafe, indicating that major improvements were needed in the handling of food and the cleanliness of the facilities. The management of food safety was also marked as needing urgent improvement. Despite this, fans still describe the venue as the perfect stop-off on match days, with many praising the food and atmosphere.
The United Cafe, run by Cafe United Ltd, also operates a bar and off-licence from the same premises. It currently has a 3.5 rating on Tripadvisor. A spokesperson for the council stated that they are working closely with the business to ensure they comply with the rating and make necessary improvements. Attempts to contact the cafe for comment were unsuccessful.
In the meantime, fans can still enjoy the VIP experience at Old Trafford, with the option to rent out a box named after legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson for a hefty price. However, for those looking for a more affordable romantic getaway, a UK hotel known as the "world's worst" is offering Valentine's breaks for only £64, including a romantic meal.
It seems that the Man Utd players have not received the memo about covering their tattoos while at work, as seen in recent training photos. But, let's not forget that the real story here is the pest problem at the United Cafe, which is being taken seriously by the council and the business itself. Do you have a story to share?
