Nightlife in Manchester

  1. DoNorth

    FC United of Manchester

    This breakaway club was formed in 2005 by Man United supporters alienated by Malcolm Glazer's takeover, and it continues to be entirely supporter-owned. They play in Northern Premier League, the seventh tier of English football. Their home ground is Broadhurst Park, capacity 4400.

    Match tickets adult £12, concs £7, U18s £3, pay on the gate

  2. DoNorth

    Infinity

    A wellness club just outside the city centre. The main entrance is in the back of the building. Very friendly staff and modern infrastructure.

  3. DoThe Quays

    Manchester United FC

    United plays soccer in the Premier League, England's top tier. The stadium has a capacity of 75,000, and sells out against top-calibre opposition, such as the other big names in English football (especially Liverpool and Leeds United), and for European tournaments. You should have little trouble getting tickets for lower-ranked opposition, from either the club's official website or the Ticketing Office. The women's team play in the Women's Super League, their top tier, with home games at Leigh Sporting Village near Wigan. In 2022 Old Trafford hosted the opening game of the UEFA Women's Euro Finals, and the opening game and finals of the Rugby League World Cup.
