Man Utd fans can win the FIRST-EVER overnight stay at Old Trafford

Manchester United are set to offer fans the chance to win an extraordinary experience by being treated to sleeping at the ground ahead of their side's clash with Chelsea in May.

The club are running a competition that will allow one incredibly lucky supporter and a guest to wake up at the Theatre of Dreams overlooking the pitch, with a matchday suite transformed into a Marriott Hotels guest room.

The winner will be selected from a global sweepstake and would become the first supporter to enjoy the luxury of an overnight stay at the ground ahead of the Premier League fixture with the Blues.

The extraordinary one-of-a-kind prize will also offer the chance to take part in a number of behind-the-scenes experiences to make it an unforgettable weekend for any United supporter.

In addition to the overnight stay, the lucky fan and guest will also get the opportunity to watch the team train, be given a behind the scenes tour of Old Trafford and, of course, receive matchday tickets and hospitality where they can mix with the club's legends.

'From the very beginning of our partnership, Marriott Bonvoy has created some truly unique experiences, and this is no exception,' said Victoria Timpson, Manchester United's CEO of Alliances and Partnerships.

'Whoever wins this opportunity will receive the same first-class hospitality as they would at any Marriott Hotels property around the world, with the added excitement of being hosted at the 'Theatre of Dreams', one of the world's most iconic football stadiums.'

The prize may also offer the chance to additional comforts for what is likely to prove a sleepless night for many United fans before the game due to nerves, with the match coming at such a crunch time in the season.
