Manchester United Offers Old Trafford Turf for Sale

Manchester United has launched an initiative to sell pieces of their Old Trafford pitch for £125 each, with the first batch already sold out. This announcement coincided with the club reporting record revenue of £677.6 million and an operating profit of £22.6 million for the 2025-26 period, despite a pre-tax loss of £43 million.

The club also disclosed that £63.5 million had been spent on acquiring land for a new stadium, projected to cost over £2 billion. The Old Trafford pitch was dug up and stripped back to its foundation for the first time in 14 years during the summer.

Sections of the turf were preserved, cut into 7x7 cm pieces, and encased in glass cubes presented in a black case. The club's website describes these cubes as "priceless mementos of iconic games played at home," intended to keep the memories of matchdays alive.
