“The heritage and history of Old Trafford is like nothing else in football – and unsurprisingly for a 75,000-seater, the noise can be deafening when Manchester United are in the mood (the last time I went was for the Manchester derby). I fully recommend taking in the area, exploring the club shop and if you’re in Manchester for the day, the National Football Museum is just down the road in the town centre.”
