Everyone's cracking the same joke about Old Trafford's fire incident

There was a small fire incident that took place at Olf Trafford on Monday morning but it was brought under control straight away. As usual, Twitter found a way to make fun of the incident and somehow, it’s the same thing everyone is talking about!

How ironic - a fire breaks out in old Trafford just hours after Will Grigg plays there
