5 reasons why Manchester United may destroy Chelsea

#4 Old Trafford's atmosphere

Old Trafford can be quite intimidating for the opponents

It is a popular belief that home advantage plays a massive role in football. The home team suddenly becomes faster, more energetic and things start going their way once the crowd becomes the 12th man. Now, in terms of intimidating atmospheres, Old Trafford is as good as it gets.

The Theatre of Dreams, as it is fondly called, is the largest club football stadium in England with a capacity to hold around 75,000 fans. Top fanbases are the ones who understand the importance of backing their team especially when the latter is going through a rough patch.

United fans firmly belong to that category and they can dial up the volume at the stadium even before the match begins, boosting their team's morale while intimidating the Blues.

The red half of Manchester have orchestrated several memorable moments in their chequered history with a noisy Old Trafford playing its part.

Once the team gets going with the crowd behind them, it will become a difficult environment for a Blues side short of confidence and this could help the Red Devils achieve the desired result.
