Richard Arnold's first game as Manchester United chief executive and it was announced shortly before half-time on Friday night that technical problems meant food and drink were off the menu at Old Trafford.
Another cyber-attack? Unlikely, but Arnold can only hope it is not an omen after he officially succeeded Ed Woodward at the helm on Tuesday.
To say it has been something of a difficult first week for Arnold is an understatement in the wake of Mason Greenwood’s arrest and the obvious concern that has caused among United’s sponsors.
It didn’t get any easier last night as Championship club Middlesbrough dumped United out of the FA Cup at the fourth round stage despite Ralf Rangnick’s side taking an early lead.
