Man Utd receive one star food hygiene rating after raw chicken scandal
Manchester United's season of infamy has continued in the strangest of ways after being handed a one star food hygiene rating by authorities.
The Red Devils' 2023/24 campaign on and off the pitch has been underpinned by chaos and controversy, with this newest revelation possibly the weirdest indiscretion yet.
In November, guests at a corporate event complained of feeling unwell after being served raw chicken, and Trafford Council have confirmed this has had a negative impact on United's food hygiene rating, which was previously a full five stars.

"We can confirm that the hygiene rating for Old Trafford (Manchester United) has been downgraded from five to one," a Trafford Council spokesperson said.
"This follows a food hygiene investigation following an incident where undercooked food was served at an event on 21 November."
In a club statement, United said: "Manchester United has one of the largest and most experienced food and beverage operations in world sport, with more than 250,000 people dining at the stadium restaurants and over 300 external events successfully delivered each year.
"Every matchday, the catering is enjoyed by over 8,000 people, served by 28 kitchens across the stadium, and the club is proud of the high standards and the 5-star food hygiene record which had been awarded to us for the past eight years.
"This was an isolated incident, and the point of failure was identified and addressed. Everyone at the club is determined to regain our 5-star food hygiene status as quickly as possible. To support that objective, we are conducting an independent food audit to identify any further opportunities for improvement."
