Old Trafford is Manchester United's home in Manchester. Here is how to get there, where the away end is, what to expect on parking, and every official ticket and travel link in one place, all checked against the club's own pages. It is an away-day primer, not a substitute for the official site, so confirm the details before you travel.
Getting to Old Trafford
By train and public transport
The nearest stops are the Old Trafford and Wharfside Metrolink tram stops and Manchester United Football Ground railway station, all a short walk from the stadium.
Plan the exact door-to-door journey with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), Metrolink.
By car and parking
There is no public parking at the stadium on matchdays; fans are advised to use park-and-ride via Metrolink or pre-book nearby commercial car parks, with the official E2 car park mainly for non-matchday visitors.
The away end
Visiting supporters are housed in the SE quadrant (upper tier), with a typical allocation of around ~3,000 (varies by game). Away tickets usually go on sale to season-ticket holders and members first, so check how your club handles away allocations well before the game.
Tickets, tours and official links
Every link above goes to Manchester United's official site. We never sell or resell tickets. Prices, availability and kick-off times all live on the club's own pages, and televised games can move, so confirm there before booking travel.
Plan your matchday
Give yourself time. The area around Old Trafford and its nearest stations get busy from roughly an hour before kick-off, and again all at once at full time, so an early arrival and a plan for the way home both pay off.
Check the kick-off before you set off. Televised fixtures move from the standard Saturday 3pm slot, sometimes only a few weeks out, so the date and time on Manchester United's official site is the one to trust. For the live build-up, score and team news on the day, the Manchester United match centre keeps the next game, the table and where to watch in one place.
