Manchester United Faces Investigation After Allegedly Serving Raw Chicken to Guests

Manchester United is currently under investigation by Trafford Council following reports that the club served raw chicken to guests during an event, according to sources.

Internal Probe Underway

Several individuals have reported falling ill after attending an event at Old Trafford, although the club has not yet commented on the matter, as reported by The Athletic.

Manchester United is conducting its own internal investigation to determine the cause of the incident and whether the symptoms experienced by the guests were linked to the food consumed on the club’s premises.

Symptoms of Food Poisoning

The NHS website lists symptoms of food poisoning, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, high temperature, and general feelings of being unwell. These symptoms typically appear within a few days of consuming contaminated food but can sometimes manifest after a few hours or even weeks.

Potential Impact on Food Hygiene Rating

Manchester United currently holds the highest grade for food hygiene rating. However, depending on the outcomes of the investigations, this rating could be affected.

Financial Implications

Hosting events and providing hospitality is a significant source of revenue for Manchester United. The club may need to invest significantly in improving protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. Additionally, the alleged scandal could impact the rates the club can charge for its hospitality services.

Investment by Sir Jim Ratcliffe

The news of this alleged scandal coincides with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s £1.3 billion investment in Manchester United, which is expected to be ratified in the coming weeks. Ratcliffe will acquire a 25% stake in the club.
