Old Trafford away guide

Man Utd away end

United put the away turnstiles in the south east corner of the ground, where the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand meets the East Stand, and they open two hours before kick-off. If a ticket has gone missing, duplicates come from Supporter Services in car park W2 from four hours before kick-off, on photo ID, and only after your own club has authorised the reprint.

Old Trafford bag policy

Nothing bigger than 20cm by 15cm by 5cm, A5 rather than the A4 most grounds allow. Anything larger goes to a £5 bag drop, and there's one for away fans in the E2 car park.

Checked 8 Aug 2026 against Manchester United prohibited items at Old Trafford.

Getting to Old Trafford: nearest station

Old Trafford Metrolink stop is a five-minute walk to the ground, United's own figure, and it is step-free. The Trafford Park line put Wharfside and the Imperial War Museum nearby too, which the club call a short walk without giving a time.
