Officials will unveil vast, 900 square metre-marquee behind the Stretford End in time for their first match of the season on Sunday against Arsenal.

The new addition will have room for 1,000 supporters, and be viewed as a form of ‘fan village’ at Old Trafford.

Starting from this weekend’s Arsenal season-opener, the new addition will be free to enter and will open three hours before the match starts.

The move is aimed at bringing fans to the stadium early and helping to generate and atmosphere in the build up to kick-off.

United also believe it will provide an opportunity for local businesses.
