Manchester United has announced plans to build a new 100,000-seat stadium, a project set to redefine the Old Trafford area. Co-owner Jim Ratcliffe described the new stadium as “the best in the world,” emphasizing its importance in revitalizing the area. The club considered either redeveloping Old Trafford or constructing a new stadium in the same location, ultimately opting for the latter.
The design, created by renowned architects Foster + Partners, was revealed Tuesday, showcasing a modern and expansive vision for the club’s future.
Ratcliffe remarked, “This is the beginning of an exciting journey to deliver what will be the greatest football stadium in the world, at the heart of the redeveloped Old Trafford area.” He added that while the current stadium has served them well for 115 years, it is now outdated in terms of facilities and modern standards.
