MANCHESTER UNITED fans can get their hands on a premium Paul Smith bag depicting Old Trafford – but they can’t take it inside the ground itself.
The backpack checks in at a whopping £440, or about as much as Paul Pogba earns in 20 minutes.

For that, the wearer gets a canvas fabric bag with leather trim and a large depiction of the pitch and Stretford End.
Of course, they can’t take it around Old Trafford on a matchday.
The backpack measures 44cm x 31cm x 16cm, substantially larger than the limit applied by stadium rules.
United’s website tells supporters not to bring in bags larger than 20cm x 15cm x 5cm – equivalent to a “small handbag”.
Should an unfortunate fan attempt to carry through such a sizeable item, they must pay a fiver to leave it at the official Old Trafford Bag Drop.
Fortunately, the club says there is no limit to how many bags filled with merchandise from the Megastore people can take inside.
Yet they may prefer to indulge in the whole collection of Paul Smith accessories featuring the Theatre of Dreams.
The collaboration was announced in November of last year with Paul Smith the “official formalwear partner” of United for over a decade.

According to the club, the designs are created to “reference Paul Smith as an innovator in photo print during the 1970s and 1980s while celebrating Manchester United’s rich sporting history”.
A leather phone case will set you back £75 and their wool-cashmere scarf comes in at £105 – which edges the £100 red and grey striped cufflinks.
The same Old Trafford picture as the backpack can be found on a £165 laptop sleeve or £155 wallet.
