The UK and Ireland's bid to host Euro 2028 looks set to be successful, but Old Trafford will not host matches at the tournament.

Rival bidders Turkey pulled out of the race for the hosting rights on Friday, and have asked UEFA whether they can jointly bid for Euro 2032 with Italy.

This has left the UK and Ireland seemingly with a clear run to hold the tournament in five years.

Earlier this year, they proposed 10 stadiums to host Euro 2028 games, but Old Trafford did not make the cut.

Two venues - Everton's Bramley-Moore Dock and Casement Park in Belfast - have not even been built yet.
