LEGO has brought United fans a unique way of experiencing the Theatre of Dreams.
The model will bring Old Trafford to the homes of Manchester United’s enormous fanbase, counting 1.1 billion fans and followers worldwide, and to those who have not yet been able to experience the stadium in person, this provides a thrilling opportunity to do exactly this, played out in LEGO elements.

Building this set is sure to be a nostalgic experience for Manchester United fans while also providing a rewarding building experience for LEGO fans. The building instruction includes information on the stadium and its rich heritage and history, as well as the designers that have brought the set to life.
The model is available from 16 January.
“To create Old Trafford in LEGO bricks was a tremendous design challenge for the team, and we couldn’t be happier with the result,” said Michael Psiaki, LEGO Design Master. “The 110-year-old stadium provided us with so many important locations, features and stories to tell as we constructed this model. We are excited for our fans to be able to experience all of that history and attention to detail as they construct and proudly display this iconic stadium.”

Kick-off is on 16 January 2020, when the model will be available directly from LEGO Retail Stores and www.LEGO.com exclusively for LEGO VIP members, with general availability beginning February 1 2020, in time for the stadium’s 110th anniversary.
