If Manchester United keep at Previous Trafford the brand new capability will likely be 87,000 – greater than the present 76,000 however considerably lower than the 100,000-capacity new-build proposal.
Regardless of the membership decides, it is going to be costly.
Doing nothing isn’t considered as viable, although.
Redevelopment might embody partial stadium closures and, not like Tottenham who had Wembley as an possibility, there isn’t any apparent relocation possibility in the event that they get to a degree the place video games and constructing work can’t happen concurrently.
The costlier new stadium possibility can be a cleaner means ahead and video games might be performed within the present stadium till the brand new one is prepared, which might be a couple of years away.
We will certainly know the reply by the center of 2025, however there’s a chance Sir Jim Ratcliffe will make his thoughts up earlier than then.
