If you're driving to Old Trafford I recommend parking at the Lowry Outlet Mall
It's got indoor secure parking and it's free for the first four hours if you get your ticket validated (there's a newsagents in there so that wont cost you much). It's a five minute walk from OT.

Plus in Manchester the 'secure' part of the parking is very important.
When my brother used to squat in 'The Crescents' in Hulme we had to park fucking miles away because nowhere had CCTV in the area.

Blimey, a google image search of 'The Crescents, Hulme' does not paint a pretty picture

It was really fucking scary.

Appreciate the in-depth assistance sir
However I'm actually keen to avoid Old Trafford and all the people going to it. Partly because of the intense pain associated with the words "play-off final" and partly because they might be ruffians.

Ah, I see
You'll not be sticking around for the victory parade on the Monday then I take it?

Odd that they've scheduled a victory parade for two days after the most humiliating defeat of their season
But no.
