suffered a tough defeat on derby day as they lost 3-1 to Manchester City Women.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>United took the lead in the game through a well taken penalty by captain Katie Zelem, but goals from\u00a0Jill Roord, Khadija Shaw and a Lauren Hemp stunner put the game out of reach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And to pile on the misery for the home fans, parts of the stadium&#8217;s concrete roof were

time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They were buoyed by the news of Sir Jim Ratcliffe&#8217;s INEOS group taking over but it has appeared that a new stadium is not among his plans for the club.<\/p>\n<p>The British billionaire is on the cusp of purchasing a 25 per cent stake in the club and taking control of football operations.<\/p>\n<p>He is set to pledge \u00a3245m to be invested into infrastructure as United try to catch up with rivals Tottenham and Manchester City&#8217;s incredible stadiums.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s Carrington training ground will be provided with an estimated \u00a3150m to \u00a3200m to modernise the facility.<\/p>\n<p>And Ratcliffe will reportedly consider alternative plans to renovate and expand Old Trafford and improve facilities in and around the famous old ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The roof has been leaking for years and is a constant source of amusement for rival fans who enjoy rubbing in the dire condition this once historic stadium has fallen
