History
Old Trafford has been Manchester United's home since 1910 and, with over 74,000 seats, is England's largest club stadium. Badly damaged in the Second World War, it was rebuilt afterwards and expanded many times since. It is deeply tied to the club's history, including the eras of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.
