Sir Jim Ratcliffe to Transform Manchester United's Old Trafford

The billionaire's investment aims to create a 'Wembley of the North,' sparking debate on public funding and fan ownership.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans a major overhaul of Manchester United's Old Trafford, envisioning it as the 'Wembley of the North'.
Ratcliffe's proposed investment includes a £237 million initial stake, with redevelopment costs potentially reaching £2 billion.
The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust advocates for fan ownership in the club to support the project and enhance community benefits.
Public funding for the project is considered, amidst concerns over using taxpayer money for a private asset.
Alternatives include a complete new build or a revamp of the existing stadium, with a decision influenced by fan consultation and economic impact.
