Introduction:

Manchester United has secured most of the land needed to build its proposed 100,000-seat stadium, marking a significant step in its long-term plan to redevelop the Old Trafford area.

Features:

The new stadium is set to become the largest sporting venue in the UK and is expected to drive the regeneration of the surrounding district, creating a major global destination for sport, entertainment and business.

The club has acquired the 25-acre site, located around 350 metres north-west of the existing stadium, from Indurent, an industrial property provider owned by Blackstone. Manchester United will work with businesses affected by the development to support them during the transition.

The wider 370-acre regeneration project is expected to deliver around 15,000 new homes, including affordable housing, create approximately 48,000 local jobs and more than 90,000 jobs across the UK, while contributing over £7 billion annually to the UK economy.
