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!

Amazing from start to finish!
After finding this ‘once in a lifetime’ experience for my husband’s birthday it was a no brainer! From the minute we booked, the team acknowledged and knew who we were, being on hand with any questions. Upon arriving in Marseille, the team welcomed us at the hotel and were extremely accommodating with our later than planned arrival! And from that moment onwards, they were approachable, friendly, helpful, fun and extremely clear in organising a group of 50+!
I wasn’t sure how we would find an itinerary based trip, usually deciding what we do each day when away, but honestly, we would do it again in a heartbeat. The planned activities were all 10/10, unforgettable experiences – and the amount of ‘free time’ you get inbetween to do your own thing and explore the area balances it all out.
The trip was surreal, an experience you wouldn’t ever dream possible (especially for my Husband, meeting and spending two days with his all time football hero!!).
Don’t even hesitate when considering booking, the memories you make and the people you meet are worth every penny!
Thank you again to Dharma and LookingFC for making my husband one happy man 😂🙌🏻 and for giving us the trip of a lifetime!
