Hi everyone. I'm Liam. I'm still in Manchester. Today, I'm very excited.
We're going to go on a guided tour of Old Trafford,
the football stadium for one of the biggest football clubs in the world: Manchester United.
Let's go!
This is the Manchester United logo.
It's got a pretty cool emblem with the red and yellow.
I guess this would be the red devil And two footballs on either side.
It's weird I never actually noticed that there was a boat here on top.
When I was a young boy, I wanted to play for Manchester United.
It turns out I have some physical limitations, so I can't do that.
Let's see. Here it says something about the beginnings of the club.
It was founded in 1878, but it was only named Manchester United after 1902.
During the Second World War the stadium was severely damaged by German bombs
and United temporarily located to Main Road, Manchester City's club.
Nowadays, I think Manchester United fans
would find it almost sacrilegious to play in Manchester City,
so only during war would something like that be accepted.
Here we have a wall full of famous Manchester United players:
George Best. This is before my time, before I was born.
Right here is a guy I do remember, Wayne Rooney.
That was when I started watching football, when I became interested in football as a kid,
and I watched Wayne Rooney play together with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Obviously, here's the man, the myth, the legend: David Beckham himself.
He could be the most famous football player.
There are so many trophies in here. Clearly, Manchester United is a successful club.
1997, the year I was born. 1972, way before I was born.
I wonder where the Champions League trophies are.
I can see some of the trophies that they won over there.
I think you can take your picture with them. Let's go do it.
Can I have a photo? Yes.
Stand here. You can't touch them, but you can do a bit of that.
Okay. These are the real trophies, yeah?
They are actually replicas of all the trophies. We're not allowed to keep them.
1, 2, 3 …. Two thumbs up! Oh, I like that one.
I look so pleased. I like that one. That looks amazing.
And the other one? I think I like that one better.
Really? I look crazy in that one.
Maybe the first one is better. Yeah, let's do that one.
That's the best one, isn't it? Alright. Let's see.
Beautiful. I feel like Jesse Lingard, like I just won three Premier Leagues at once.
We're a bit late. We're going on a guided tour. We're going into the stadium now.
Wow! This is crazy. I've only ever seen this on TV. It's such an interesting feeling to be this close.
You can kind of smell the grass.
It's kind of a surreal feeling being this close to the action - or the grass.
Even though nothing's happening, it feels like the action.
I can just imagine what it's like seeing Lingaard and Lukaku and Sanchéz running around
scoring goals and the whole crowd roaring.
I need to come back here when there's an actual match.
Even the tour guide is excited.
Chewing gum board. Interesting.
This is the room where they have press conferences.
After every game, the two managers come in here and give a press conference.
Always the visiting manager comes in here first.
The next stop is the VIP Lounge. Very important people.
Anyone know who this is? Usain Bolt.
Usain Bolt. The fastest man in the world. He comes in here, but not for long. Then he's gone!
Very fancy indeed. We're approaching the locker room now.
I want to know what it's like inside. I hope it doesn't smell too bad.
Wow! This is brilliant. Victor Lindelöf from Sweden.
This is Alex Sanchez's spot in the locker room.
In the beginning, this drinks cabinet opened this way
but he didn't like the fact that the cold air went in his face,
so they had to change it so it opens this way.
I don't know. I thought it was a funny story. Alexis gets what he wants.
It's an international team. Alexis from Chili and Lindelöf from Sweden,
We've got Rashford, an English guy. Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku's a big buy.
They all look like the same size. I thought Lukaku's would look a bit bigger.
Yeah, you would have thought so. But he's not because -
He's very tight.
His shoulders are quite wide, but then he's quite narrow because he hasn't got any belly fat.
Martial, Mata, Lingard, Paul Pogba. This was an expensive purchase, let me tell you.
Does anybody have any questions about the change room?
Where are the showers?
In there. We can't go into the shower basically because it's all disinfected.
Nice dressing room.
Now we're going to approach the dugout. Now we're very close to the action indeed.
I feel like a Manchester United player. It's very big.
Oh, there we see the Sir Alex Ferguson stand.
It's named after the legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
It was so good that he got knighted. One of the most successful managers of all time
respected by Manchester United supporters and rivals alike.
What a great experience.
It was amazing to finally see a stadium that I've seen so many times before on the telly.
