Manchester United has begun selling pieces of their iconic Old Trafford pitch for £125 per cube, with the first batch having already sold out. This initiative was announced on the same day the club revealed its total debt still exceeds £1 billion. Despite this financial strain, United reported record revenue of £677.6 million and an operating profit of £22.6 million for the 2025-26 financial year, though they incurred a pre-tax loss of £43 million.

The club spent £63.5 million acquiring land for their planned new stadium, an endeavor expected to surpass the £2 billion mark. For the first time in 14 years, the Old Trafford pitch underwent a thorough overhaul in the summer, being excavated to its foundations and meticulously preserved. Tiny sections of the turf were then segmented into 7x7cm pieces, carefully placed inside glass cubes and displayed in black cases.

The club claims these cubes are "priceless mementos" of unforgettable games played at Old Trafford, allowing supporters to retain the essence of matchday memories.
