Manchester United and Uber are partnering to enhance fans’ matchday experience at Old Trafford, where the football club is headquartered in the UK, and how fans connect with the club on a global scale.

Under the partnership, a dedicated Uber pick-up and drop off zone will be set up at Old Trafford, creating a convenient and safe way for all fans to travel to and from games. Over the next few months, Uber will also connect fans in over 30 countries around the world to Manchester United through experiences such as behind-the scenes content and sending riders and drivers to the Club’s Theatre of Dreams*.

Manchester United’s Group MD Richard Arnold said, "Manchester United is always looking at ways in which we can improve our fans’ experience and our relationship with Uber will allow us to do this in new and exciting ways.

“Supporters will tell you that the journey to and from a game, whether they are watching it at Old Trafford or another venue on the other side of the world, is an important part of the matchday experience, contributing to the build-up and anticipation of the day. Working with Uber we will look to enhance this experience for our 659 million followers, both home and abroad, by bringing them the spirit of Old Trafford and Manchester United through various experiences and interactive campaigns.”

Amy Friedlander Hoffman, Head of Business Development - Experiential Marketing at Uber said, "Uber makes it easier for people around the world to connect to what they care about and now we’re excited to give that connection to Manchester United fans.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Manchester United to not only make match day transportation more seamless, but to deliver fans incredible experiences throughout the season, no matter where they are supporting from."
