Partially destroyed in WW2, United have rebuild and continue to keep Old Trafford as state of the art as possible. The fans completely filly the “Theatre of Dream” to capacity almost every match.
It’s been seen as one of the best home advantages in England — if not the entirety of Europe. Old Trafford is a fortress. Although Louis Van Gaal and David Moyes failed to keep the winning tradition going, the fans never gave up on the Reds.
Since Jose Mourinho has been in charge, United have started to give Old Trafford the fortress reputation once again. Manchester United have finally fielded a team worthy of such loyal and passionate fans.
The struggles of the Moyes-van Gaal era are starting to fade in the rear-view mirror and United fans couldn’t be more happy. The chants ring out each and every game as the third ranked fans continue to make a case that they should be higher each and every game.
The Old Trafford faithful only trail Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid in the rankings, rated second and first, respectively.
