Manchester United Football Club

Manchester United Football Club, commonly known as Man United and nicknamed the Red Devils, was founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878 and changed its name to Manchester United in 1902. The club has played its home games at their iconic Old Trafford ground, coined the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ since 1910, now with a capacity of almost 75,000 and one of the highest average attendances in European football. 

With a huge worldwide fanbase, the club has more than 200 officially recognized branches of the Manchester United Supporters Club in over 24 countries and it has been estimated that Manchester United has more than 75 million fans worldwide. 

The club’s most prolific season came in 1998/99, when they completed the prestigious Treble of the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in one season, becoming the first English football club to achieve this feat. This squad is often considered one of the greatest of the Premier League era.

Since the year 2000, Manchester United’s senior squad have trained at the AON Training Complex in Carrington. The 440,000m2 site has a main building that comprises two levels, complete with state-of-the-art facilities such as a large gymnasium, 7 changing rooms, indoor running track, basketball and squash courts, swimming pool and spa, a yoga room and more, as well as offices, classrooms and a restaurant seating over 100 people. There is also an Academy Facility with a full-size indoor football pitch, an outdoor football pitch built to the specifications of Old Trafford and 11 changing rooms. 

Outside consists of 14 soccer pitches varying in size: 12 grass pitches (with drainage, irrigation sprinklers, under-soil heating and floodlights), one full-size outdoor floodlit and heated AstroTurf all-weather pitch, one full-size indoor floodlit and heated AstroTurf artificial pitch and a special goalkeeper training area. 

The club previously trained at The Cliff Training Ground from the late 1950’s all the way through to 1999, with an academy producing talent such as Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and the infamous ‘Class of 92’.

This flexibility ensures that each team’s experience aligns with their objectives on the Manchester United Youth Soccer Tour.

When is the Best Time of Year to go on a Manchester United Youth Soccer Tour?

At Next Generation International, we see the most popular travel times for an international soccer tour typically during Spring Break and Summer.

That said, we recommend booking 9 to 12 months in advance to allow plenty of time for fundraising and preparation.
