MaNChester Utd...did u know..


DUGOUT

THE VIEW FROM THE BENCH

The original entrance to the Old Trafford turf saw the players emerge underneath the centre of the South Stand. Old Trafford’s old tunnel – which was used until 1993 – is the only remaining part of the original stadium, having survived the World War Two bombing which flattened the rest of the ground.

The current elevated ‘dugout’ area, in the centre of the South Stand, provides a prime vantage point for Sir Alex Ferguson and his team, within touching distance of the touchline and all the action.

The dugout area features seats for the substitutes and backroom team and also has under-floor heating to keep the players warm on cold Manchester nights.
