To allow for the safe queueing and management of fans at Metrolink stops post-match, we are asking Altrincham-bound customers to use Old Trafford, and East Didsbury and Airport customers to use Trafford Bar. Please see our map of both stops for more information.
Also, on the same day, works will be taking place on the Rochdale line. There will be no tram service from approximately 9pm, until the end of service, between Rochdale and Exchange Square.
Park for free at Parkway park and ride and board the tram to Wharfside - which is only a five-minute walk to the stadium. There are also several other park and ride sites available - visit our park and ride webpage for more information.
