It's an award-winning tourist destination, a magnificent stadium, an interesting day out and home to the most successful team in English football.
The stadium tour is excellent. It starts in the trophy room (which is obviously very full) and museum, your guide then leads you inside the 'Theatre of Dreams' to take in the awe-inspiring view of the England's second biggest stadium in all its glory. There are plenty of photo ops aside the pitch here. You then head down to pitchside where you can sit in the dugout a-la Sir Alex, before heading back outside to learn a bit more about United's moving and romantic history as you walk beneath the Munich clock and through the tunnel to take the players' entrance. This leads you into the players' lounge and then the changing rooms where you can have your photo taken aside your favourite player's shirt. Then it's time for food in the great Red Cafe, and obviously the tour ends in the megastore where you can fill your boots with Manchester United logo-emblazoned anything.

Manchester United 8 Arsenal 2: Crushed and humiliated! Wenger in crisis as Rooney runs riot
Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick and his hair is stunning!
Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley says his young Premier League leaders are full of self-belief after their stunning start to the season. Cleverley, who is keeping more illustrious names on the bench with his sustained excellence in central midfield, said the 8-2 mauling of Arsenal at the weekend showed just what Alex Ferguson's fresh-faced side are capable of achieving.
"It's a pleasure to play in a performance like that, with world-class players. I see in training that we have it in our locker. When it all comes together, it's pretty exciting. We're a young, high-energy team and, hopefully, if we keep putting on performances like that, the trophies will come." Tom Cleverley.
Old Trafford: 100 Years at the Home of Manchester United: The Official Story
In the Edwardian era, Manchester was the workshop of the world and its leading football club, Manchester United, was one of the best in the land. Unfortunately, its stadium at Bank Street did not reflect its aspirations. So the directors took the brave decision to build a spectacular new stadium to reflect the club's, and the city's, status. On 19 February 1910, Old Trafford was open for action. Ian Marshall tells the astonishing story of the hundred years that followed. From early triumph, through inter-war depression, Old Trafford saw it all. But when the ground was twice bombed during the Second World War, its entire future was in question. However, under the inspirational managership of Matt Busby, both the team and the ground were rebuilt, and a new era of dominance was ushered in in the 1950s, only for United to be once again struck down by Munich. Speaking to players, employees and fans from across the years, as well as original research into the United archives, Marshall explains how Old Trafford has remained central not just to United but to the fortunes of an entire city. Old Trafford is the definitive story of an iconic venue.

Paul Scholes - A true Red Devil
With the retirement of Paul Scholes, one of the finest attacking midfield players of the Premier League era has brought his glittering career to a close. The Manchester United star was undoubtedly a fine exponent of the beautiful game's more attractive craft, his passing and vision on the pitch was class apart. Scholes justified the hype as he went on to become one of the most gifted players England has ever produced.
Shy off the pitch, devastating while on it, Paul Scholes' life was spotless and his career was a lesson to all aspiring and young footballer on how to gain greatness and stay at the top.
Even the French legend Zinedine Zidane said, "My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder. He's almost untouchable in what he does. You rarely come across the complete player, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get."
At Wembley in the Champions League final, Barcelona players ran up to him to swap their shirts. As many as five Barcelona players were eager to swap shirts. Xavi, Busquets, Pedro and Messi walked up to Scholes, but it was Iniesta who beat them all to it.
A true legend - A true Red Devil.
