Manchester United puts Old Trafford turf up for sale
Manchester United has started selling special souvenirs made from the former Old Trafford stadium pitch to fans.
Operativ Media reports that ESPN released this information.
Each souvenir consists of a 7x7-centimeter piece of the old turf preserved inside an acrylic cube. A photo of Old Trafford is featured on the cube. The souvenir is priced at approximately 146 euros.
The stadium's pitch was completely renovated last summer for the first time since 2012. After the end of the season, the old turf was removed and fully replaced as part of a reconstruction aimed at improving the drainage system and conditions for the players.
Instead of disposing of the old turf, the club preserved parts of it for fans. Season ticket holders have been given priority to purchase the souvenirs.
Manchester United also offered pieces of the old turf to fans during the pitch replacement in 2012.
This initiative coincides with the release of the club's financial report for the 2025/26 season. Manchester United reported a pre-tax loss of 73.1 million euros for the reporting period. Over the last seven years, the club's total losses have reached 691 million euros. Meanwhile, revenue rose to a record 789 million euros.
