Manchester United Reveals Plans for 100,000-Seat Stadium

The proposed £2 billion arena would replace Old Trafford and aims to be the world’s best football stadium.

  • Manchester United has announced plans for a new 100,000-capacity stadium, intended to be the largest in the UK and the second-largest in Europe.
  • The stadium, designed by Foster + Partners, would be built next to the current Old Trafford site, preserving some of its historical essence.
  • The estimated £2 billion project is expected to revitalize the surrounding area, creating 92,000 jobs and generating significant economic growth.
  • Club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe emphasized the need for a modern venue, as Old Trafford, built in 1910, has fallen behind global standards.
  • Legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson supports the project, calling it an opportunity to build a future-ready home for Manchester United.
