Old Trafford, Theatre of Dreams ! ❤️

Manchester United ! 💫 Old Trafford is a football stadium in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, and the home of Manchester United. With a capacity of 74,310. It is the largest club football stadium (and second-largest football stadium overall after Wembley Stadium) in the United Kingdom. Nicknamed "The Theatre of Dreams" by Bobby Charlton. Old Trafford has been United's home ground since 1910, although from 1941 to 1949 the club shared Maine Road with local rivals Manchester City as a result of Second World War bomb damage. Old Trafford underwent several expansions in the 1990s and 2000s, including the addition of extra tiers to the North, West and East Stands, almost returning the stadium to its original capacity of 80,000. Future expansion is likely to involve the addition of a second tier to the South Stand, which would raise the capacity to around 88,000. The stadium's record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town. Watch a match here no matter you are a Man Utd fan or not , the atmosphere here is great ! At least once in a lifetime ! ❤️

Old Trafford - Theatre Of Dreams

I am a Manchester United fan. Naturally, visiting Old Trafford was one of the top items in my bucket list. Thus, I felt so blessed that I was able to fulfil my dream. I visited Old Trafford twice. For the first trip, it was during the off season in which I went for the Musuem tour. I still remember when I was walking along the streets of Sir Matt Busby Way, I kept thinking to myself whether I was really there. For the second trip, it was for the Manchester derby against Manchester City. We drew 0-0 against them. It was a pity that I didn't get to experience the atmosphere of a goal scored for Manchester United. Nevertheless, it was a tremendous experience. #bucketlistreboot #manchesterunited

Bucket list for Manchester United fans

#bucketlistreboot It is on the football fans’ bucket list to watch their favourite team live. We were able to do so just before Covid outbreak when the whole travel industry came to a standstill. This was so memorable experience for us as we were watching the match and the first few cases of Covid reported in Singapore. Watching the match live is totally different from watching from the TV. We bought the hospitality package from Man U website. Though it is expensive, it is worth every penny. Before the match, you got a chance to tour the whole stadium and walk through the tunnel where the football stars came out. You can also enjoy the lounge before and during match.

In the UK, it is natural to go to the Old Trafford stadium for pilgrimage, which is why Manchester is chosen. Since all have arrived at OT, is it necessary to achieve a more fulfilling dream? So I began to wonder how to buy tickets. In the end, we bought Manchester United's ball tickets to Liverpool. We have seen many fans wearing Manchester United jerseys, shoulder-striped Manchester United scarves, and many hawkers selling scarves and souvenirs. The ball game process is not mentioned, in short, Manchester United fans have not been to the scene, sincerely suggest that you must find opportunities to look at the feelings, singing together and sighing together to judge, the atmosphere is really great. In the end, Manchester United won Liverpool 3:1, fans are not happy ~~~

The team isn't going through the best of times at the moment, but the Theatre of Dreams is still a place all Manchester United fans must visit once in their lives. Truly one of the very best!

The Theater Of Dreams!

A dream come true for a Manchester United fan!

Best stadium tour ever!

It's not really as rundown as some people make it out to be on the internet. This was a great place to visit. When in machester, a tour of the old Trafford came up as one of the tours. I thought why not. Our guide Peter was extremely informative and funny. Such a passionate person and clearly a Manchester untied fan. You are not merely visiting a stadium. There is history associated with it and so much pride. Plus you actually go inside the stadium and look at things. There is also that munic tunnel which covers the tragedy of 1958. The shop sells souviners, jerseys and Manchester United related memorabilia. And an absolutely memorable tour! #uktrip#historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #manchester #summerdestinations #localguides #football #100waysoftravel #localguides

Old Trafford - Home Of Manchester United

#travelanywhere Attending a live match featuring my favourite football club Manchester United in Old Trafford was one of my biggest dreams. I realised this trip when I came to Manchester for a holiday. I purchased the vip package to ensure I got the ticket to watch the match. The match was between Manchester United and Manchester City and it was a pity it ended in a 0 0 stalemate and experienced the atmosphere when Man U scored.

Dream Fulfilled At Old Trafford

#winhkflight I am a huge Manchester United fan and visiting Old Trafford naturally became my dream. I realised my dream when I signed up for the Old Trafford tour during this trip to Manchester. It was the off season and thus a stadium and musuem tour will suffice. I remembered I was so nervous when I was walking a long the streets to reach Old Trafford. Some memories of watching Manchester United came to my mind.

In awe at Old Trafford

In awe at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United! Red echoes of history surround me in every seat. The crowd's roar resonates in my heart—an unforgettable pilgrimage as a devoted fan. Glory, indeed.

Manchester in one day 🇬🇧

#thingstodo Manchester is one of the city located in the northern part of the UK. Last time I went to Manchester to explore around the city. The city is really convenient to go to anywhere with the tram as a transportation. I went to the Etihad Stadium and the Old Trafford stadium. Those are really cool stadium in Manchester and as a football lover, going to these 2 places is my dream and I am glad that I made it! #manchester

Unforgettable football game in my life

This is my 2nd time watching Manchester United home game since 2019. Even tho the opponent team is not a top one but MU is not able to get equaliser at 85 minutes. I was feel upset until miracle was happened as home team made 2 scores within 5 minutes in the stoppage time. I was extremely happy and touching at the moment. I came from a long way to support my team and they won’t let me down at the end ! Keep up, Manchester United !

Dream do come true in the theatre of dreams

Went for a FA cup match day against West Ham united. Bought the Red Cafe hospitality package with 3 course meals and unlimited beverages including alcohol for £195. Food was great as well as seat in the Sir Alex Ferguson stand. After the match went to Stretford end to wait for player to come out of Old Trafford. It’s a good time to get your favourite player signature. Book for a stadium & museum tour with lunch the next day. Ticket without lunch was £27.5 and additional £10 with lunch. Lunch provided was filling and come with a soft drink or coffee or tea. Worth the experience for Manchester United fan to visit. Tip: 1) recommended to stay at Hotel football located just beside Old Trafford and it’s open by class of 92. A Marriott Bonvoy hotel group as well. 2) Recommended to get your United membership before the season start if you doesn’t want to get hospitality package tickets. As membership do sell out. (Hospitality package doesn’t require membership, only normal ticket) #manchester #Manchester United #uk #england #soccer #stadium
