Manchester United have put pieces of the historic Old Trafford pitch up for sale, with each 7x7cm section priced at £125 as reported by BBC Sport on Thursday.

n

The first batch of the turf, preserved inside glass cubes and presented in a black case, has already sold out.

n

The initiative comes as United reported that their overall debt remains above £1bn.

n

The club recorded record revenue of £677.6m and an operating profit of £22.6m for the 2025-26 financial year, although they still posted a pre-tax loss of £43m.

n

United also confirmed that £63.5m had been spent on acquiring land for a new stadium, with the proposed project expected to cost more than £2bn.

n

The Old Trafford pitch was dug up this summer for the first time in 14 years and stripped back to its foundation.

n

Sections of the turf were preserved as memorabilia for supporters.

n

The club describes the glass cubes as a “priceless memento” of iconic games played at Old Trafford and a way of keeping matchday memories alive.

n

The sale offers supporters the chance to own a small piece of the ground that has hosted generations of Manchester United players and some of the club’s most memorable matches.
