On Thursday the 25th February,  Northfield Academy Pupils and staffwent on a 7 hour bus journey to Old Trafford to see Manchester United play FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.

The pupils and staff left at 10:30 a.m to get to Manchester for around 6:00 p.m. Then a while before the match they went to the club shop to get some souvenirs. When the match started it was a rocky start for Manchester United; they conceded a goal then equalized at half time.

During the break a message board displayed a welcome message for Northfield Academy. Late in the second half Manchester United showed their true side and scored 4 goals! Teachers and pupils celebrated Manchester United’s big win. On the journey back people on the coach had a good sleep and arrived back at the school at 5:00 a.m – most made it in for the rest of the school day after a shower and an hour of sleep!
