Watch United v Liverpool as a VIP
United versus Liverpool represents one of the biggest football rivalries the country has ever seen, with many placing it above the Merseyside and Manchester derbies for the drama and passion that it evokes every time the two sides meet.
All United fans can probably recall in great detail their favourite moment of a United v Liverpool game from over the years.
If asked what your favourite moment was, you might think of Dimitar Berbatov’s incredible hat-trick from 2010, with that overhead kick that landed in off the underside of the crossbar. Maybe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s beauty back in 2003, or his injury-time winner from the successful 1999 FA Cup run that kept the Treble in sight are the first that spring to mind.
If you’re a long-serving fan, your first thought might even be the 2-1 victory in 1977 when goals by Stuart Pearson and Jimmy Greenhoff edged the victory and prevented the visitors from bagging the first English side Treble, leaving the that accolade open to United 22 years later. Whatever the specifics, every United fan always has a favourite moment.
What can fans expect of the fixture this season? Well, like every north-west derby, drama and passion are guaranteed, but this season is different, this season is extra special. This summer, we’ve welcomed one of the most exciting young players around in Jadon Sancho, as well as one of the most-decorated players in the world, Raphael Varane.
With the season barely underway, the buzz brought to the team by the two new signings is something you won’t want to miss.
As well as new faces settling into the team and dynamics developing on the pitch, with our first full-capacity home game completed thanks to a scorching season opener against Leeds, the excitement of fans being back at Old Trafford is huge.
After playing behind closed doors for so long, the atmosphere brought to the stadium by the supporters is something more magical than ever, something that can’t quite be described. Watching on TV is great and all, but being there in person is next level.
This year’s match on 24 October is not just one of the most hotly anticipated fixtures of the football calendar; the clash will take place on a Sunday at 16:30, adding to the excitement for match-going fans who will be able to make the most of that pre-Halloween Sunday.
Weekend football is a thing of beauty, and if you want to be there for one of the most unmissable fixtures in the calendar, fear not, you can do just that.
