Five good reasons to visit the National Football Museum If you are in Manchester and do not know what to do, here is a very valid reason

There are different opinions about the city of Manchester: who prefer it to other English cities, London above all, because it's cool and less chaotic, who (still today the majority) continues to consider it as one of the most sad of the whole English soil, grey in every sense. It's true that it rains at least 140 days a year and that the winter is extremely cold, but the old Mancunia also has great strengths: Oasis' music for example, and the two among the most rich and prestigious football team in the world. The morning after Manchester United-Juventus, the city offers not much to see and the National Football Museum is the ideal place for those, passionate about football at 360 degrees like us, want to spend a couple of hours before lunch. But do not be fooled by the premise, it's a well-known place in the UK: the National Football Museum is the official museum of the English National team and was inaugurated in 2001, but is in Manchester only since 2012, after being transferred from Preston's Deepdale. Why it's so important? First of all because inside you try to know why football is 'the people's game' and England is the home of football. So, push by curiosity, we went for a ride with great pleasure, also because getting there was a moment and because is free entry, even if a spontaneous donation is well accepted. There are also some Juventus fans who are still in town, even if the real flow was the day before our visit, as the National Football Museum was chosen (what a very good idea!) as a venue for the distribution of tickets to fans from Italy. Between a gem and another, we decided to select the five reasons (but in the end maybe they were even more) so it was really worthy.
