Manchester United’s £50m Carrington Training Ground to Open in Early August

Fit-outs overseen by Ineos under Foster + Partners are wrapping up before the first team returns from its US tour.

Overview

  • The Carrington first-team centre has been stripped back and rebuilt by Foster + Partners in a £50 million overhaul commissioned by Ineos since its mid-2024 stake purchase.
  • Advanced sports-science installations include cryogenic chambers, an upgraded gym and a flow-managed layout that directs players through changing rooms, medical and pitch areas in sequence.
  • Player-focused leisure spaces feature a pioneering on-site barbershop and a remodeled swimming pool following Cristiano Ronaldo’s critique of outdated facilities.
  • Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos, sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford and COO Collette Roche collaborated to modernize infrastructure and elevate training standards.
  • The three-tier complex is set to unify senior departments at Carrington and encourage players to extend on-site time for enhanced cohesion.
