The station was constructed by the Cheshire Lines Committee and opened on 21 August 1935. It was provided with one timber-built platform and was served, on match days only, by a shuttle service of steam-hauled trains from Manchester Central railway station. It was initially named United Football Ground, but was renamed Old Trafford Football Ground in early 1936.[4] The date of change to the current name is not known.
Served only on matchdays, the station is directly adjacent to the Old Trafford football stadium and passengers leave the station by the stadium's South Stand. It is one of very few National Rail stations in Great Britain not to be included in the ORR station usage stats.[5]
