The driving there was quite bad due to the traffic condition. We set off at 8am for the 3pm kickoff. Though it was boxing day, the roads were quite busy. To make matter worse, there was an accident on M25 (A car hit a pedestrian on the highway!) and we had to make a detour, which wasted 45 mins of our time. When we finally arrived at Old Trafford, it was past 215pm, and we could not find parking space. I had to get down to meet the guy to collect the tickets while GT looked for a parking lot. We finally made it to the match, 5 mins before kick off.
The atmosphere was electrifying, though GT thought that it could be better with 75, 193 spectators. End result: 5 goals, including 1 penalty converted by Berbatov. The icing on the cake was when we were leaving the stadium, they announced that Man City were held to a draw by West Brom.
I have been looking forward to watch Man Utd play in Old Trafford. Thank you T for helping me to get the tickets. A total of 4 men were involved in getting the tickets. Most importantly, thank you GT who drove me there. It is really special, especially he is a Brighton fan. It was a match with love.
