Manchester United released plans for a new, 100,000 people -taking stadium on Tuesday. Club owners Jim Ratcliffe promises nothing less than the “best football stadium in the world”.
England’s football record champions Manchester United published plans for a new, 100,000-human stadium on Tuesday. This would become the new construction of the twenty -time master to Europe’s second largest arena after the converted Camp Nou from FC Barcelona. In the message, club owners Jim Ratcliffe promises nothing less than the “best football stadium in the world”.
As the BBC reports, the conversion of the entire site should cost two billion pounds (approximately 2.3 billion euros) and almost five years. How the major project of the highly indebted club is to be financed is not yet known.
“Manchester United should always be on and next to the best striving for the best striving,” United’s living manager legend Alex Ferguson, who won 13 English championships and twice the Champions League with the Red Devils: “This also includes the stadium in which we play.”

Old Trafford has been dilapidated for years
Renoving or leaving the legendary, but for years dilapidated Old Trafford, had been in the room for a long time. It was only in December that the Daily Mail reported on a mouse plague in company suites and a meal kiosk.
The successor to the old “Theater of Dreams” is to be covered by an umbrella, similar to that of the Munich Olympic Park. This should contribute to energy generation and collect rainwater. According to Ratcliffe, the current, 115 -year -old Old Traffe has done “excellent services”, but it would now be “behind the best arenas of world sports”.
Manchester United, reigning English cup winner, is in 14th place in the Premier League after 28 match days and thus far behind the ambitions of the top club.
