Ultimate Manchester United: 4 Day Football Adventure in Manchester

CANTONA’S CLUB

Manchester United’s Theatre of Dreams. Where a Frenchman was crowned King. Loved worldwide. Remember Giggs, Best and Beckham, Busby, Big Ron and Sir Alex himself. No English club has won more trophies, including 20 league titles and the ‘98-’99 Treble. These are the Red Devils. So pop your collar. Football lives here.

He dribbles, He shoots! CANTONA NA NA

“When Cantona scored the late winner against Pool in the ‘96 FA Cup final to win us the double. It wasn’t a great game at Wembley but we had Eric the King back from suspension and his volley in the 86th minute was a thing of premium beauty. Taking the cup from Liverpool was glorious.”

Owen, United fan

Trip highlights

Football-themed walking tour, including iconic murals

Connect with Withington Walls, the team behind the iconic Marcus Rashford mural. Learn how Marcus has contributed to the community, bringing the red and blue sides of the city together to feed underprivileged children.

Manchester United masterclass of style

Nothing represents Manchester United’s heritage like their classic jerseys. See and hear how the style has changed over time but how the classic red shirts will always outlive the colourful iterations – green and yellow anyone?

Watch a home game at the iconic Old Trafford

Old Trafford has seen some incredible footballing moments over the years, many of which were supplied by our very own King Eric! Matchdays here are electric, the fan’s expectations are only matched by their vociferous dislike of the club’s corporate owners, brace yourself!

A football fanatics dream trip

I went with Looking FC to Buenos Aires for the Superclassico, and it was everything and more.

Our trip captain Dani & everyone at Looking (Shout out to Adam) were super helpful and planned everything brilliantly. By having a local as the trip captain, it felt like we got a real look at the authentic football culture as opposed to a more corporate feel which was great.

This was the best futbol experience of my life!

Looking FC had a lot of surprises for us every day. Everyone in their staff was great.

I highly recommend this trip to anyone that breathes futobol.

Use Looking FC

Looking FC were outstanding. It was so well organised and run by brilliant people.
Our Buenos Aires guide, Dani, was amazing and knew the best places to go, and what to expect from the game.
Adam was always on had for any questions or issues, and sorted them out quickly.
If you’re looking for a great football trip, I’d definitely recommend Looking FC.
