Seb Coe to Lead Manchester United's Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force

The task force aims to explore the creation of a new stadium and the wider regeneration of the Old Trafford area, with a focus on social and economic improvements.

Sebastian Coe, Andy Burnham, and Gary Neville will spearhead a task force to explore the potential for a new Manchester United stadium as part of a broader Old Trafford area regeneration project.
The initiative, led by INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, seeks to create a 'Wembley of the North' and address the regional imbalance in national venues.
The task force will include prominent civic and community leaders, and aims to make recommendations later this year.
An economic impact study will be commissioned to assess the potential socio-economic benefits, with extensive consultation with fans and local residents.
The project aims to support the 'Levelling Up' agenda, driving investment in the North of England and potentially using the new stadium to host international games and finals.
