LONDON. – Manchester United will build a brand new £2billion Old Trafford rather than redevelop their current ground.
They plan to make an announcement in December about the new stadium which will have a 100,000 capacity and be built right next to the current ground.
The club has been on fact-finding missions to other grounds, including The Bernabeu and Nou Camp in Spain, both of which have undergone huge renovations.
Officials have also been studying the SoFi Stadium while in Los Angeles – where United played Arsenal – to assess how the area around the ground has been regenerated.
The stadium was completed in 2020 and was part of a £4bn “Hollywood Complex” to regenerate a major area of Inglewood.
It was all funded by Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, and the 70,000 stadium will host six World Cup games in 2026 including the competition’s opener. – The Sun
