SEASON 2023/24
ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP
Venue: OLD TRAFFORD
MANCHESTER UNITED 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2
Scorers: Hojlund, Rashford; Richarlison, Bentancur
My first trip to Old Trafford this season. To see United take on ex-Celtic manager, Ange Postecoglou's new club Spurs. While they have been enjoying a better than expected season, United have been performing well below expected levels.
After a great start from United scoring inside 3 minutes, Tottenham controlled most of the game however by the end of the game United were unlucky not to win after having the best of the chances.
Travel: Car to Motherwell train station for 8:35 train to Glasgow Central. Bus Glasgow (10am) to Manchester city centre arriving just after 2pm. Metro to Old Trafford cricket ground and 10 minute walk to the football equivalent.
Returning by rail to Motherwell, however the Manchester Piccadilly to Preston leg had a rail replacement service (bus) but thankfully this was the only hassle on the day and I was easily back home for 12.
Overall another good trip to the Theatre of Dreams.

Personal note:

- Overall the 77th time seeing Man Utd and 15th time seeing Tottenham Hotspur
