Perhaps more aptly titled the Old Trafford tour, walking down the fame Sir Matt Busby Way onto the imposing stadium on match day was certainly created a highlight as well as a wish to revisit the experience again and again. As pointed out in the previous post, I am a football fan and I do support Manchester United. Naturally, Old Trafford became the haven and focal point of my entire time in Manchester.
Manchester is like a blend between the big and the small, swaying towards the smaller side of things. I soon found out that central Manchester is really compact and you could literally walk from one end to the other easily. There're enough shops to keep you entertain and Christmas markets perfectly sized with charm for someone like me who is terrified of big crowds (except when you're talking sports of course) as they make me feel overwhelmingly lost.
This time round I squeezed every inch of football out of my experience in both London and Manchester, and I love both cities. I hope I will go back to see the other sides of the cities that I have yet to discover.
