Old Trafford to host UA92 campus
Old Trafford is set to take on a new role away from matchdays, after Manchester United agreed for the University Academy 92 to set up a new campus at the stadium.
UA92, founded by Gary Neville and his fellow members of the Class of '92, is set to use several suites within the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand as teaching spaces from January 2026, becoming an educational hub for hundreds of young people pursuing degrees and other qualifications.
Courses will include Business of Football, Sports Management, Digital Marketing and Football Broadcast and Journalism, all in partnership with industry to give students real-world experience, employability skills and the confidence to thrive in their careers.
