Manchester United have announced plans to build a new Old Trafford.
Manchester United announced plans to build a new stadium on its official website on the afternoon of the 11th (Korea Standard Time). Manchester United announces its intention to push for a new 100,000-seat stadium as a hub for redevelopment in the Old Trafford area. This supported the government's growth policy", he explained.
Manchester United said "The new stadium and wider redevelopment projects have the potential to provide an additional £7.3 billion (W13.722 trillion) a year to the UK economy, which will bring large social and economic benefits to the community and the wider region. This has the potential to create 92,000 new jobs and more than 17,000 new homes, and could attract 1.8 million visitors each year," he said, explaining the tremendous effect of the new stadium.

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe "This day marks the beginning of an incredibly exciting journey to build the world's best football stadium at the heart of Old Trafford, which will be redeveloped. Our current stadium has been used brilliantly for the past 115 years, but it's hard to say it's the best stadium at the global sports level. As we build next to the existing site, we can create a truly state-of-the-art stadium that preserves the essence of Old Trafford while transforming the fan experience a few steps away from our historic hometowns."
He went on to say that "the new stadium will be a catalyst for social and economic change in the Old Trafford area. Opportunities to create jobs and investments in a sustainable way are important not only in the construction stage but also when the stadium district is completed. The government has made infrastructure investment a strategic priority, especially in the north of England. We are proud to support that mission through this project of national and regional importance" and announced the construction of the stadium with joy.

Ratcliffe, who took the sporting decision-making power by acquiring a 27% stake in Manchester United, promised a huge level of infrastructure improvement when he took over the club. Ratcliffe's biggest project was the Old Trafford remodeling or the construction of a new stadium.
Built in 1910, Old Trafford has been the home of Manchester United for 115 years. It is called the Theatre of Dreams and it is a very symbolic stadium even in England, which survived two World Wars. However, 115 years of experience have caused the stadium to become very rusty. Old Trafford is not managed, causing problems at the stadium every year.

During the Old Trafford renovation and the new stadium, Manchester United's new leadership opted for the latter. 100,000 is the largest in the UK. Wembley Stadium, the largest in the UK, holds 90,000 people. If a 100,000-person stadium is built, it will be the second-largest stadium in Europe after Camp Nou Stadium.
It is expected to cost as much as 2 billion pounds (about 3.76 trillion won) to build a new stadium.
