We take a tour around Old Trafford, home to Premier League football club, Manchester United. It has been their home ground since 1910. At a capacity of over 74,000 it is the second largest football stadium in England, behind Wembley.
The four stands are Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, East Stand, Sir Bobby Charlton Stand and the Stretford End. The stadium itself is located just next to the Bridgewater Canal in the Manchester suburb of Stretford to the west of the city centre. The East Stand is located on Sir Matt Busby Way, named after the man who man managed Man United from 1945 to 1969, and then briefly in the '70-'71 season. Under Busby Man United racked up five First Division titles (equivalent to today's Premier League).
The north stand is named after Sir Alex Ferguson who managed Man United from 1986 to 2013 where they achieved thirteen Premier League titles and two Champions League titles, making him perhaps the greatest manager of all time (and that's coming from someone who hates Man Utd!)
Located at the East Stand is a plaque commemorating the victims of the Munich air disaster of 1958. 23 out of the 44 passengers died after a botched takeoff on a flight back to Manchester following a European Cup match with Red Star Belgrade.
HOW TO GET TO THE STADIUM:
The nearest train station is Trafford Park, about 20 minutes away. This map shows the route: goo.gl/maps/FuNt3QG4jYugefyp9
Please note that if you find yourself in Manchester city centre I wouldn't recommend walking to the stadium, unless you fancy an hour-long trip along a busy A road!
