Manchester United supporters have been busy ahead of the away leg of their Europa League clash with arch-rivals Liverpool.

We’ve seen similar pranking in the past, with Manchester United themselves having to put up with Old Trafford being renamed ‘the Theatre of Shite’ and Spurs finding out that typing ‘Shithole’ will guide you to White Hart Lane.

We don’t anticipate the glitch lasting long on Google Maps as they’re usually quite prompt at sniffing out any tricksters but, while you can, check it out for yourself.
