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.
