HAVING watched their team pick up its first piece of silverware of the season in the Community Shield final at Wembley, it’s now time for Manchester United fans to find out how the Red Devils will fare in the Premier League under new manager David Moyes.

Moyes’ Boys will kick off their first home match of the season against Chelsea on Monday August 26 and Northern Ireland’s leading independent specialist tour operator Travel Solutions is offering the club’s huge local fan base an easy, hassle free opportunity to experience the excitement at Old Trafford.

Travel Solutions is an official agent for Manchester United in Northern Ireland and Managing Director Peter McMinn says that the Old Trafford trips are amongst the company’s most popular packages.

“From the days when our own George Best donned the famous red short at Old Trafford, Manchester United has always had a huge following in Northern Ireland and a special relationship with local fans,” said Mr McMinn.

“As Manchester United’s official agent in Northern Ireland, we are delighted to be able to offer fans a variety of hassle-free options to give them the chance to cheer on their team,” said Peter, himself a life-long United supporter.

“The packages on offer take all the hassle out of organising a trip to Old Trafford with match tickets, ferry crossing or flights, coach travel where necessary, and a match day programme all included in the price.  There are a range of different travel options available from daytrips with a return ferry crossing to ticket and flight packages with overnight hotel accommodation for fans who want to make a weekend of it with their friends or family,” he said.

“We have all the big matches covered including Arsenal on November 9, the Manchester derby on February 28 and arguably the biggest match against fierce rivals Liverpool on March 14 – so forget about watching the match down at the local pub and book now to sample the electric atmosphere of watching a live Premier League match at Old Trafford.

“We would urge fans to book early to avoid disappointment as these are amongst our most popular packages and tend to sell out very early,” he added.
