- UA92 will deliver industry-linked courses including Business of Football, Sports Management, Digital Marketing, and Football Broadcast and Journalism.
- Gary Neville, a UA92 co‑founder, welcomed the move as giving students a place to learn and build their futures at the stadium where the Class of ’92 began.
- Club leaders tie the agreement to long‑term ambitions for a new stadium, but progress still depends on securing the adjacent Freightliner rail yard, with compulsory purchase discussed by local officials if talks stall.
