Club update on fans' return to Old Trafford

No fans have been allowed inside the Theatre of Dreams since our 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby last March because of the pandemic.

Plans for stadiums to be reopened in October were postponed by the government because of the resurgence in COVID-19 cases – leaving fans of all clubs uncertain when they will next be able to cheer on their team from the stands.

Collette Roche, Manchester United Chief Operating Officer, said the club had put rigorous plans in place to make Old Trafford as safe as possible for fans when they are allowed back.

“We were really disappointed when the government decided not to allow fans back in the stadium in October because we’ve got everything in place to make sure we can do so safely,”

Roche told Sky Sports News.
