Stadium Tour (Old Trafford), Manchester 1" loading="lazy">1 / 6The Old Trafford Stadium Tour takes you inside the home of Manchester United — through the players' tunnel, into the dressing room and out towards the pitch of one of football's most famous grounds. It is a genuine ticketed, timed-entry attraction, and the same ticket also covers the three-floor Manchester United Museum. Here is exactly what to expect and how to book.

The tour is at Old Trafford football stadium, on Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester M16 0RA. One important note: this is not the same place as Emirates Old Trafford, the Lancashire cricket ground on Talbot Road. The two venues share the "Old Trafford" name but are different sites — this page is about the Manchester United football stadium. It sits roughly 2 miles from Manchester city centre.
What to see
- Walk through the players' tunnel out towards the pitch and sit in the Managers' dugout.
- Visit the home dressing room and the press/media room on a roughly 70-minute stadium tour.
- Explore the three-floor Manchester United Museum, packed with club memorabilia and trophies (included in your tour ticket).
- Take in the scale of the roughly 74,000-capacity stadium from the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand.
Getting your ticket
Tickets are sold both on the official site (manutd.com) and through third parties including GetYourGuide, so you have a choice of where to book. The bookable product bundles the guided or self-guided stadium tour together with museum admission, so one ticket covers both.
This is a pre-booked, timed-entry slot rather than a "skip-the-line" product — there is no separate queue-skip to buy, you simply reserve a time and arrive for it. Because the tour is closed on home match days, booking a slot in advance is the safest way to guarantee entry.

- Tours typically run daily otherwise, roughly 09:30 to 16:00/17:00, so build in flexibility around kick-off weekends.
- Allow around 80 minutes in total for the tour plus the museum.
- When searching for directions or tickets, double-check you're heading to the football stadium on Sir Matt Busby Way, not the cricket ground on Talbot Road.

For Manchester United fans and football lovers, standing in the players' tunnel, sitting in the dugout and seeing the dressing room is a genuine highlight, and the included museum adds real depth with the club's trophies and history. It is a straightforward, well-run timed-entry experience rather than anything that needs a premium queue-skip.
