Man Utd put chunks of Old Trafford up for sale
In a left-field move, Manchester United are offering supporters the chance to own a piece of the Old Trafford pitch, with preserved sections of turf going on sale for £125 ($165.49). Old Trafford, known as the “Theatre of Dreams,” has been United’s home since 1910 and was the stage for some of the most significant moments in the club’s history, including their record 13 Premier League titles.…
In a surprising move, Manchester United has announced plans to sell pieces of Old Trafford's pitch, preserving sections of turf for fans to own for £125 each. The club's statement, released on their website, explains that the pitch was completely excavated and rebuilt in June for the first time in 14 years. This restoration project was carried out by Tony Sinclair and his team of professionals, aiming to improve player welfare and water drainage.
The preserved turf sections were later placed into glass cubes, making them unique keepsakes for supporters. This initiative arrives during a challenging period for United, who finished third in the Premier League last season but are struggling this year, currently sitting 12th with just one win in their first five league games.
Additionally, the club reported a seventh consecutive annual loss, partly due to increased costs from player acquisitions and the dismissal of former head coach Ruben Amorim.
