Stadium information

Name:

Old Trafford

Capacity:

74,994

Address:

Sir Matt Busby Way, Stretford, Manchester M16 0RA, UK

Description:

Manchester United plays all their home matches at Old Trafford. This has been Manchester United’s home stadium since 1910. Bobby Charlton once nicknamed the stadium “The Theatre of Dreams”. Old Trafford is the oldest and largest club stadium in the English Premier League. The capacity is momentarily around 75,000. Some existing plans for a second tier to the South Stand will raise the capacity to around 95,000. The club has won many trophies including 20 titles, 12 FA Cups, five League Cups and a record 20 FA Community Shields. Manchester United has also won three European Cups, one Europa League, one Cup Winners' Cup, one Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one Club World Cup.

Best way to travel to Old Trafford

By train

The train is by far the best option if you travel to Old Trafford. The nearest station is Manchester United Football Ground, this station is located immediately outside the away end. From Manchester Piccadilly Mainline Station, the train has a direct connection to Manchester Piccadilly Mainline Station.

By tram/metrolink

We would recommend the tram as the second-best option. The other quickest way of getting to Old Trafford (especially for Sunday matches) is to grab a lift on the nearest tram/metrolink. Trams travel every 12 minutes every day of the week. The nearest tram station to Old Trafford is located next to Lancashire County Cricket Club on Warwick Road, which leads straight up to Sir Matt Busby Way and takes about a 10 minutes' walk.

By car

is the third and final option to travel to Old Trafford. There are plenty of small private car parks close to the stadium. The only problem is they tend to fill up pretty early on matchdays. When travelling by car, we recommend you to be there at least one, but preferably two hours before the match.

By bus

There is a bus station called Old Trafford, Matt Busby way located near Old Trafford. Frequent bus services 255, 256, X50 can take you to Old Trafford. However we advise you to take either the bus or the train, since the busses are always filled with people on matchdays.

Old Trafford Seating Guide: Search for the Best Place to Seat

With 74,310 fans, Old Trafford – the Theatre of Dreams – is the biggest club stadium in the UK. Manchester United's stadium since 1910 has also been home to many famous matches. Different levels of the four stands each provide different match day experiences. This manual guides you in finding the right Man United tickets for Old Trafford.

Stretford End

Manchester United fans cherish their spiritual home at the Stretford End. At this point the atmosphere is created, song commences and the most zealous Red Devils gather. This stand, named for the nearby suburb of Stretford, has been the beating heart of Old Trafford for generations.

Atmosphere: The loudest stand in Old Trafford by far. The Stretford End is where "Glory Glory Man United" rages the loudest with its ringing and the now legendary "United! United!" chant originates. It is this at the core of the Theatre of Dreams.

Best for: Hardcore United fans who wish to sing throughout the match, fans who prefer atmosphere to perfect sightlines, anyone looking for the real Old Trafford experience.

Consider if: You're looking to join in the vocal support and can stand for the majority of the match even if you have your seat.

View: Behind the goal, so the action at the far end (East Stand) feels like a distant thing. But when United attack the Stretford End (which in most big matches would be the second half), you are absolutely on top of the goal.

Sections breakdown:

  • Tier 1 (Lower): Heart of atmosphere, closest to the pitch, where the most vocal fans gather
  • Tier 2 (Upper): Well-placed view up high and good atmosphere going in and out from bottom, popular with season ticket holders

Tip: The central Stretford End Tier 2 sections are an eye-opener of atmosphere and view. You are just surrounded by singing supporters. In addition, the sight of the entire pitch can be seen.

Sir Alex Ferguson Stand (North Stand)

Renamed in 2011 to honour Manchester United's greatest ever manager, the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand runs along the north side of the pitch. The three-tier stand offers good sideline views and features a mix of general admission and premium seating.

Atmosphere: Good feel, very attractive in the lower tier, most importantly in the lower parts close to the Stretford End. The upper tiers can also be a bit quieter due to the mix of hospitality patrons and visitors.

Best for: Fans in search of great sideline views, a balance between atmosphere and comfort, first-time visitors, families.

Consider if: You want to have a straightforward view of both goals and know the tactical perspective of the match.

View: Superb sideline perspective. Central passages in the stadium arguably feature the best pure football views – tactical patterns crystallised, and the penalty areas are clear.

Sections breakdown:

  • Tier 1 (Lower): On pitch level, great player details
  • Tier 2 (Middle): Premium seating and hospitality with better facilities
  • Tier 3 (Upper): High view from the panoramas, good value options in the wings

Tip: Sir Alex Ferguson Stand Tier 1 sections near the Stretford End corner offer a nice balance of sideline viewing and close to the local vibe.

Sir Bobby Charlton Stand (East Stand)

Renamed in 2016 to celebrate the storied career of Sir Bobby Charlton — Munich survivor, 1966 World Cup winner, and United's second-highest goalscorer — the East Stand stands opposite the Stretford End. This stand includes the players' tunnel, dugouts, directors' box, and the bulk of the TV cameras.

Atmosphere: Quieter than the Stretford End but busy. The corporate guests, media, and directors' box add to a slightly more muted tone in central sections.

Best for: Fans who are looking for players to get out of the tunnel, viewers looking for dugout reactions, guests in premium hospitality, writers interested in the "TV view".

Consider if: You're interested in watching the managers hound the technical area, or you're interested in the pre-match tunnel experience.

View: The TV camera view of Old Trafford is classic. The central sections provide the view you see on television broadcasts.

Sections breakdown:

  • Tier 1 (Lower) Central: Closest to tunnel and dugouts – watch players walk out and managers give instructions
  • Tier 1 Wings: Good sideline views, usually cheaper than central
  • Tier 2 (Middle): Premium hospitality with executive boxes and lounges
  • Tier 3 (Upper): Elevated views, great for photographing

Tip: Be there early if you're in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand Tier 1 – it's a unique Old Trafford experience to watch the players make their way out of the tunnel and warm up.

South Stand

The newest and biggest stand in Old Trafford, the South Stand was added in 2006. This three-level structure accommodates the away supporters in one corner, and features a range of seating options, including an accessible platform for people in wheelchairs.

Atmosphere: Area-dependent. Sections close to the Stretford End corner have a nice feel, with the away sections naturally supporting the visiting side. And the family section is also here.

Best for: Fans who want sideline views, families (family section available), those in the market looking for good value tickets, anyone seeking seating options.

Consider if: You are willing to pay for sideline views at no high price.

View: Well held for the sidelines, there are areas of seat where you don't quite know where you are compared to the pitch, with the wider concourse design being an issue.

Sections breakdown:

  • Tier 1 (Lower): Family, seating available
  • Tier 2 (Middle): Admiring views, general admission & hospitality fusion
  • Tier 3 (Upper): 360-degree views about stadium
  • Away Section: South-East corner in which visiting supporters are housed

Tip: South Stand tier 3 tickets – Best value tickets available at Old Trafford with some surprisingly awesome views of the action.

Quick Comparison: Which Side to Choose

Priority Best Stand Why
Best atmosphere Stretford End Where the singing begins, most vocal fans
Best view Sir Alex Ferguson Stand Central Perfect sideline sightlines
First-time visitor Sir Alex Ferguson or Sir Bobby Charlton Stand Balance of atmosphere and views
Families with children South Stand (Family Section) Dedicated family area, good facilities
Budget-conscious South Stand Tier 3 Good value, decent views
Singing & standing Stretford End Tier 1 Be on your feet for the entire duration
See the managers Sir Bobby Charlton Stand Tier 1 Tunnel and dugout views
Atmosphere + good view Stretford End Tier 2 Best of both worlds

Where Do Away Fans Sit?

A section in South Stand in south-east corner, where the South Stand meets the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand, houses visiting fans.

Away section details:

  • Location: South Stand, south-east corner
  • Capacity: Approximately 3,000 seats (capacity can vary by competition)

Rivalries

Main Rivals

Liverpool

The match between Man United and Liverpool is often referred to as the North-West derby. The rivalry between the two most successful Premier League clubs has been fuelled by the proximity of the two major cities that they represent.

Manchester City

The rivalry between Manchester United and Manchester City is purely based on being neighbours, since Man City played for many years on a lower level. Things starting to heat up between both fanbases since Manchester City is becoming a real force in English football.

Leeds United

The rivalry originates from the strong enmity between the historic counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Although the cities of Leeds and Manchester lie over 40 miles (64 km) apart, the tradition is upheld and this strong feeling can still be seen between the two clubs.

Minor Rivalries

Arsenal

The rivalry with Arsenal was instigated in 1990, when a brawl resulted in both clubs having points deductions in the Football League First Division. Things got even more intense when Man United and Arsenal dominated the Premier League in the 90s.

Your Old Trafford Matchday: What to Expect

Old Trafford – the Theatre of Dreams – has been Manchester United's home since 1910. Walking up Sir Matt Busby Way towards the stadium is one of football's great experiences, with the ground's iconic facade and famous statues creating an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Here's everything you need to make the most of your Manchester United matchday.

When to Arrive

Stadium gates open: 2 hours before kick-off

Recommended arrival times:

  • 3+ hours before: Explore the stadium surroundings, visit the Megastore, take photos at the statues, pay respects at the Munich Memorial, enjoy a pre-match pint
  • 2 hours before: Enter the stadium as gates open, explore the concourses, watch pitch preparations
  • 1 hour before: Comfortable arrival – time for food and drinks, find your seat, watch warm-ups begin
  • 30 minutes before: Latest recommended – catch the team warm-ups and atmosphere building
  • 15 minutes before: Absolute minimum – team announcements beginning

Our recommendation: Arrive at least 2 hours before kick-off. Old Trafford and its surroundings are steeped in history – take time to appreciate the Theatre of Dreams before entering.

Pre-Match Traditions

The Walk Down Sir Matt Busby Way

The approach to Old Trafford along Sir Matt Busby Way is iconic. Street vendors line the route selling scarves, badges, and programmes. The atmosphere builds as you walk towards the stadium, with the famous Old Trafford facade growing larger with each step. This is part of the pilgrimage for any United fan.

"Glory Glory Man United"

Manchester United's famous anthem plays before kick-off and reverberates around the Theatre of Dreams. The Stretford End leads the singing, and hearing 74,000 voices join together is spine-tingling. This song dates back to the 1960s and has become synonymous with the club.

Key Songs to Know

  • "Glory Glory Man United" – The essential United anthem
  • "United! United!" – The simple, powerful call-and-response chant
  • "We'll Never Die" – A tribute to the club's resilience, particularly poignant given Munich
  • "Take Me Home, United Road" – Sung to the tune of "Country Roads"
  • "20 Times" – Celebrating United's record league titles
  • "Bruno Fernandes" – Current fan favourite for the captain
  • "Viva Ronaldo" – Still sung despite his departure

The Munich Clock

Above the South Stand, a clock permanently shows 3:04 – the time of the Munich Air Disaster on 6 February 1958, which claimed the lives of 23 people including eight players. The clock serves as a permanent reminder of the tragedy and the spirit of rebuilding that defines Manchester United.

Iconic Landmarks at Old Trafford

Old Trafford is surrounded by statues and memorials that tell the story of Manchester United's rich history. Take time to explore before entering:

The United Trinity Statue

Located outside the East Stand, this bronze statue depicts the three greatest players in United's history: George Best, Denis Law, and Sir Bobby Charlton. The trio won two league titles and the 1968 European Cup together. The statue was unveiled in 2008 and has become the most photographed landmark at Old Trafford.

Sir Matt Busby Statue

Standing with arms outstretched outside the East Stand, the statue of Sir Matt Busby welcomes visitors to Old Trafford. Busby rebuilt Manchester United twice – first after World War II, then after the Munich disaster – and led the club to European glory in 1968. The plinth reads: "Sir Matt Busby, Manager 1945-1969".

Sir Alex Ferguson Statue

Unveiled in 2012 after his retirement, the statue of Sir Alex Ferguson stands outside the stand that bears his name. The greatest manager in English football history won 38 trophies with United, including 13 Premier League titles and 2 Champions League crowns.

The inscription reads: "Sir Alex Ferguson CBE".

Munich Memorial

The Munich Memorial plaque, on the South Stand exterior, bears the names of the 23 people who died on 6 February 1958. Many fans leave scarves and flowers here — especially on the anniversary. Give your respects a moment — this tragedy will always define Manchester United.

The Munich Clock

The clock on the South Stand facade permanently displays 3:04, the time of the crash. It is a persistent reminder of the Busby Babes and the spirit of resilience that defines the club.

Manchester United Megastore

One of the largest club shops in world football is found at the stadium. Open on matchdays and during the week – essential for picking up the latest United kit and memorabilia.

The Museum & Stadium Tour

Located at the stadium, the Manchester United Museum tells the whole story of the club from 1878 to the present day. The trophy room, Munich room, and Ferguson era exhibits are particularly moving. Stadium tours include access to the dugout, tunnel, and dressing rooms.

Pre-Match Pubs Near Old Trafford

There are lots of pubs near Old Trafford that United fans love to visit. Here are the main options:

The Bishop Blaize

Perhaps the most famous Manchester United pub, located on Chester Road. Covered in United memorabilia, packed on matchdays. Arrive very early to get a seat — that’s a United institution by any measure.

The Trafford

Large pub on Chester Road, handling the matchday crowds well. Multiple screens showing build-up coverage and a good atmosphere among United fans.

Sam Platts

Named after a 1970s United player, this pub draws away fans but welcomes everyone. Good beer selection and traditional pub atmosphere.

Lou Macari's

Named for the United legend, on Chester Road. Chip shop attached — pick up some food ahead of the match along with your pint.

Hotel Football

The modern option opposite Old Trafford. More expensive but less crowded, with rooftop bar offering views of the stadium. Comfortable for groups and those wanting a more upmarket experience.

Salford Quays

A 15-20 minute walk from the stadium but MediaCityUK and Salford Quays have numerous bars and restaurants. Good pre-match lunch option before walking to the ground.

Tip: Pubs around Old Trafford get extremely busy 2-3 hours before kick-off. Arrive early or consider Salford Quays for a more relaxed experience.

After the Final Whistle

Leaving the stadium:

  • Allow 15-20 minutes for initial crowds to disperse
  • Multiple exits – follow steward directions based on your transport needs
  • The train station gets very congested immediately after the match

Transport tips:

  • Train: Expect long queues at Manchester United Football Ground station – consider walking to alternative stations
  • Metrolink: The Old Trafford tram stop will have queues – consider walking towards Pomona or Cornbrook
  • Walking: Head towards Salford Quays (15-20 minutes) for trams and bars
  • Driving: Allow 30+ minutes to exit car parks and navigate post-match traffic

Tip: Many fans wait 20-30 minutes in pubs after the match to let crowds disperse. The atmosphere is good, and transport becomes much easier.

Manchester United Legends: Know Before You Go

Understanding United's heroes adds depth to your matchday experience. Here are the legends whose names echo around Old Trafford:

  • Sir Bobby Charlton: Munich survivor, 1966 World Cup winner, 249 goals for United – the club's greatest ambassador
  • George Best: The Belfast Boy – perhaps the most naturally gifted player to ever wear the shirt
  • Denis Law: The King – Scotland's greatest ever player and United's third-highest goalscorer
