People travel from all over the world to tour this holy shrine of football, and to get their hands on some of the objects in the museum. The tour of the stadium (which now seats 76,000 thanks to extensive developments a few years back) lasts for almost 90 minutes and takes fans exactly where they want to go – the Alex Ferguson Stand, the dugout, the changing rooms.
When it comes to the beautiful game, there's something of a rivalry between the big boys of Manchester - not sure if you've noticed? But barring the odd provocative poster (the welcome was unwelcome to some, it seems) it's a friendly bit of football friction, more or less. And both the red and the blue sides of the city have plenty to enjoy, from stadium tours to the marvellous memorabilia at the National Football Museum in Cathedral Gardens. Oh, and there are the matches too, of course. Remember, though - if you can't get in the stadium, make sure you get the right pub or bar, okay?
