Man Utd selling Old Trafford turf cubes for £125

Manchester United announced on the same day as their financial report that they are selling 7x7cm sections of their Old Trafford pitch for £125 each. The club, which has been playing at Old Trafford since 1910, reported a record revenue of £677.6m and operating profit of £22.6m for the 2025-26 season, yet still carries a debt exceeding £1bn.

The turf cubes, preserved from the pitch after it was excavated this summer, are packaged in glass cases to serve as a tangible reminder of historic matches. Despite spending £63.5m on land acquisition for their new stadium, which is projected to cost over £2bn, United continues to struggle with debt while offering these unique items as souvenirs.
