Manchester United Matchday Guide

A matchday at Old Trafford

Old Trafford — the Theatre of Dreams — is one of the most famous grounds in world football and among the largest in England. On a full matchday the walk down Sir Matt Busby Way, past the statues and the United fans streaming in, is an occasion in itself. It makes an easy anchor for a weekend in Manchester.

Getting there and planning your trip

The Metrolink tram runs from the city centre to the Old Trafford stop, a short walk from the ground; matchday trains and trams get busy, so leave time. Because Premier League kick-offs move for television, confirm the fixture below before booking non-refundable travel, then base yourself in the city centre for the best mix of transport, food and nightlife.
