Now fans can enjoy a lounge that accommodates up to 639 people, gaining access to plasma TVs and a well-staffed bar. This allows fans to have a pleasant time during the break.

“I went to get a beer, as usual, and saw open double doors. I peeked inside - it was like Narnia.”

“A beautiful bar area where you could really get served before the second half began and sit down.”

The changes were approved by the club in January 2023 after meetings with fans and their Advisory Council. The issue with corporate seats was raised back in 2018, emphasizing that Manchester United became the only club to place them in the loudest part of the stadium.

Future Plans

The opening of the International Suite is just the beginning. The club has ambitious plans to enhance fan experiences. They hope to move to a new 100,000-seat stadium by the start of the 2030/31 season to significantly modernize the entire experience of supporting the team.
