Man United Set Summer Works to Fix Old Trafford Roof and Upgrade Pitch and Dugouts

The move follows years of high-profile leaks, reflecting growing scrutiny of Old Trafford’s condition.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the club has scheduled a comprehensive summer program to overhaul roof drainage and clear gutter blockages to curb water ingress.
  • Plans also include a full pitch renovation and upgrades to the home and away dugouts to meet UEFA standards.
  • Recent action follows repeated flooding and leak incidents, including water pouring into seating in 2019 and a 2024 overflow, with a drip noted during Ruben Amorim’s post-match press conference.
  • Longer-term options remain under consideration, with reporting citing either a full Old Trafford refurbishment estimated between about £1–2 billion or a new 100,000-seat stadium outlined as a multi-year build.
  • Some reports suggest UEFA regulations could require certain improvements as the club pursues a return to European competition.
