The potential blueprint for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's new stadium

Manchester United have proposed a new stadium with naming rights to be sold to the highest bidder, sparking outrage among fans and taxpayers. The Red Devils are looking to leave Old Trafford, their iconic home since 1910, due to concerns over safety and the need for increased capacity. However, plans for a new 62,000-seat stadium have been met with resistance from supporters who believe the club is prioritizing profit over tradition. The proposed stadium would be built on land owned by Manchester United at Carrington Training Complex, which was gifted to the club in 2011. It has been reported that the naming rights could generate up to £20 million per year, which has led to concerns about the potential impact on local taxpayers. Critics argue that the new stadium could lead to increased costs for residents and businesses around the area. Manchester United’s proposal is subject to approval from the local authorities and may also require changes to planning laws. The club claims that the new stadium would provide improved facilities and safety features, as well as generating more revenue through increased commercial opportunities.
