United Trophy Tour’s Epic Journey Arrives in Europe
After travelling for many thousands of miles to 19 countries over the last five months, Manchester United’s global Trophy Tour, delivered by DHL, ends with a visit to four European cities in March and early April.
It’s been one heck of a journey. In the last five months, the Barclays Premier League trophy has traveled thousands of miles to 19 countries around the world. Fans have come from far and wide to meet United legends and get the rare opportunity to see the famous silverware up close. A global tour that has seen Manchester United take the celebration of its 20th Premier League title to its beloved fans is now coming to an end.
But not before the Barclays Premier League trophy makes a few stops in Europe. Denis Irwin, the famous Reds fullback who launched the Trophy Tour five months ago, will see the silverware safely returned to its Manchester home at old Trafford Stadium.

The gateway to Europe
Yesterday the trophy began the European leg of the tour in Istanbul, the gateway to Europe, where Irwin presented it to fans at the popular Istinye Park shopping center. Supporters also enjoyed the United memorabilia in the traveling museum, delivered by DHL.
Today the silverware finds itself at eclectic Dolmabahçe Palace on the European coastline of the Bosporus Strait. The picturesque setting on the water and the beautiful gardens are the perfect backdrop for the trophy’s entry into Europe.
