Neville, Scholes and other Man Utd's Class of 92 set up new plan at Old Trafford

University Academy 92, founded by former Manchester United captain Gary Neville and fellow members of the Class of 92, is launching a new campus at Old Trafford.

The higher education institution was set up by Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt in association with Lancaster University and opened in 2019.

UA92 has campuses in the city centre and next to the Old Trafford cricket ground, which will be complemented from January by United’s home.

Several suites within the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand will be used as teaching spaces and Gary Neville says “bringing our students into this environment connects everything we stand for.”

“This is a full circle moment for me – Manchester United is where my dreams started and now we have the privilege of helping the next generation achieve theirs,” the UA92 co-founder said.

“Old Trafford has always been a place where young people dream big, and now it will also be a place where our students can learn, grow and build their futures.”

Manchester United chief business officer Marc Armstrong said: “We are really looking forward to opening the doors of Old Trafford to students from UA92.

“Manchester United has always been synonymous with youth, drive and determination, epitomised by the Class of 92.

“In the longer term, as we plan for the regeneration of the Old Trafford area, including the development of a new stadium, this agreement with UA92 demonstrates our desire to work together with local stakeholders in driving social and economic progress across Greater Manchester and beyond.”
