Manchester United announced the construction of a new stadium with a capacity for 100,000 spectators, which will replace the historic Old Trafford. Designed by renowned architect Norman Foster, the project aims to create a cutting-edge venue that transforms the fan experience and revitalizes the area.
According to what was presented by Jim Ratcliffe, minority shareholder and head of the English club's sports department, the new stadium will be located in Trafford Wharfside and will feature an innovative roof that will protect a large public plaza, twice the size of Trafalgar Square in London. Additionally, the design includes three towers inspired by the devil's trident from the club's crest, with the tallest one visible from 40 kilometers away.
The project is estimated to cost 2 billion pounds (approximately 2.4 billion euros) and will have support from the British government. The construction will take about 5 years, during which Manchester United will continue playing at Old Trafford until the new stadium is ready.
