Manchester United is exploring two main options for its future stadium: either redeveloping the existing Old Trafford or constructing a new 100,000-seater stadium on nearby land. Reports suggest that the proposed new stadium would cost around £2 billion.
The club is considering various funding avenues, including potential government support, private investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, sponsorship deals, and loans. They are focused on enhancing fan experience and community impact while preserving Old Trafford’s iconic status.
To guide their decision, Manchester United officials are studying modern stadiums like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu. A task force is assessing the options and will share their recommendations by the end of the year. The club aims to balance financial considerations with potential benefits, such as increased revenue and improved facilities, while avoiding excessive debt.
