Wroclaw city guide: Key information for Man United fans

Wroclaw city guide: Key information for Man United fans

Manchester United's pre-season tour of Europe is set to continue during the early weeks of August, and on Saturday, 15 August, they will travel to Wroclaw in Poland to take on AC Milan.

The match feels marginally bigger than your average pre-season friendly because AC Milan are now managed by Ruben Amorim, United's former boss.

Although there are no ill feelings between the coach and the majority of his former players, both parties would love to get one over the other.

If you are planning on travelling over to Poland for the match, here is everything you need to know about Wroclaw to ensure the trip is a good one.

How many Man Utd fans are going to Wroclaw?

It's impossible to know how many Manchester United fans will be in Wroclaw on matchday, as the club have not been given an official ticket allocation. Instead, all tickets at the Tarczynski Arena are available to the general public.

At the time of writing, there are still plenty of tickets available to purchase for the match, which indicates the full capacity of 42,771 will not be sold.

United have a larger fanbase than AC Milan in this part of the world, so it is anticipated that more United fans will be in attendance than Milan supporters. In terms of putting a number on it? We'd estimate around 15,000, with the vast majority being from the local area.

Where will Man Utd fans sit at the Tarczynski Arena?

Man Utd fans are able to buy tickets anywhere in the stadium, which means there is a high chance that they will mix with AC Milan supporters. Naturally, there will be an attempt to make one of the two ends their own, but it's not all that important given that this is just a friendly.

Both ends are now fully sold out, meaning supporters can only purchase tickets on the sides or corners.

Where to eat & drink for Man Utd fans in Wroclaw

The average price of a pint in Wroclaw is around £4, so United fans travelling over from the UK are expected to fill their boots pre-match. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the city, but our recommendations are as follows:

  • Pub Pod Trzema Miotlami – Ofiar Oswiecimskich 15, 50-069 Wroclaw, Poland
  • Guinness – Plac Solny 5, 50-079 Wroclaw, Poland

How to get to the Tarczynski Arena: Guide for Man Utd fans in Wroclaw

The easiest way to get to the Tarczynski Arena is to get a train from Wroclaw Glowny (the city's main railway station) to Wroclaw Stadion. These services run every hour and the total journey time is just 12 minutes.

Alternatively, for those who would rather not rely on an hourly train, take advantage of the city's tram network, which connects the centre to the stadium via trams 3, 10 and 20 from the central station (Rynek). These trams operate every 10-15 minutes, and the total travelling time from Rynek to the stadium (Lotnicza) is around 20 minutes.
