Manchester United Reveals Plans for £2 Billion, 100,000-Seat Stadium

The proposed state-of-the-art arena would replace the historic Old Trafford and aims to become one of the world's premier football venues.

Manchester United has unveiled preliminary plans for a new stadium with a capacity of 100,000 seats, making it the second-largest in Europe after Barcelona's Camp Nou.
The estimated cost of the project is £2 billion (approximately €2.4 billion), though funding details have not yet been disclosed.
The new stadium would be built adjacent to the current Old Trafford, which has served as the club's home for 115 years but is now considered outdated.
Club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe described the project as a step toward creating the 'world's best football stadium' and revitalizing the surrounding area with new jobs and housing.
Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson supports the plans, emphasizing the importance of innovation to uphold Manchester United's legacy on and off the pitch.
