Old Trafford Stadium

Old Trafford Overview

Welcome to the Theatre of Dreams — home of Manchester United. On matchdays the area around Sir Matt Busby Way becomes pedestrian-first with stewarded zones and rolling closures, so plan your arrival just beyond the tightest cordons for a short, stress-free walk in.

Smart arrival: we’ll agree a pre-match drop-off outside the busiest cordons and a post-match meet on a quieter side street. If you’re flying in, see our Airport Transfers hub, or book a dedicated Sports & Entertainment chauffeur for the day.

Accessibility: We operate premium saloons, estates and people carriers (not wheelchair-adapted). Please see our Accessibility guidance.

Fan Stalls & Quick Eats

Expect classic matchday stalls on and around Sir Matt Busby Way — burgers, pies, loaded fries, coffee carts and sweet treats. Lines build ~60–90 minutes pre-kick-off; earlier snacks = faster service.

Post-Match Pick-Up Tips

• Exit via your stand and walk to the agreed side street one or two blocks from the heaviest footfall.
