Manchester United are set for a number of transfer ins and outs this summer but questions remain over whether there will be a change in the dugout.
Manchester United 'bring in' stadium designers as Sir Jim Ratcliffe ponders 'new Old Trafford'
25.03.2024 - 08:25 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The designers responsible for Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium have reportedly drawn up plans for Manchester United as new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe considers the future of Old Trafford.
Ratcliffe wants to revamp United's stadium, and designers have reportedly drawn up plans already, which are now being examined. Speaking on the Geraint Thomas Cycling Club podcast earlier this month, the Ineos chief hinted at plans to increase capacity to 100,000.
He said: "You have got this opportunity if you choose to, to build a completely new ground, because we have got enough space. If you built a completely new ground it would absolutely be state-of-the-art, world class, 90,000 or maybe even 100,000 that then provides a platform for some of the big competitions in the north of England.

"Why do England always play in the South? Why is the FA Cup final always in the South? Why can't the Champions League final be in the North occasionally?
"Football in the North is just as important as it is in the south, arguably more so, and the people in the north pay their taxes, so why do we have Wembley, Twickenham, Wimbledon etc in the south. What have we got in the North? There's a strong argument to build a 'Wembley of the North'."
And now, according to a report from the Daily Mail, stadium designers Populous have already come up with proposals to renovate or rebuild Old Trafford. The company, according to the report, have been brought in by the Glazers and the plans they came up with are now being 'scrutinised by Ratcliffe's INEOS people'.
