Manchester United Eyes £2bn, 100,000-Seat Stadium for Major Regeneration

Decision on new stadium or Old Trafford redevelopment expected by December, aiming to transform southern Manchester.

A task force led by Lord Coe and key stakeholders is evaluating the feasibility of a new stadium versus redeveloping Old Trafford.
The proposed new stadium would be built next to Old Trafford, allowing continued use of the current venue during construction.
The project aims to emulate the success of SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with potential for a larger regeneration scheme including housing and amenities.
Consultations with fans and the local community are ongoing, with a final recommendation expected by the end of the year.
The new stadium could serve as a northern counterpart to Wembley, enhancing the region's infrastructure and economy.
