What we know about the 'new' Old Trafford

MANCHESTER UNITED plan to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Old Trafford.

The decision was made after a number of fact-finding missions to other stadiums including the Bernabeu and Nou Camp.

The cost of the project is expected to be a staggering £2billion.

A capacity of 100,000 is expected.

It is felt that a club of United’s standing should have a new state-of-the-art facility.

The new stadium will be built on land adjacent to the Red Devils' current home.

United are looking to not only build a stadium but regenerate the area of Trafford where the ground will stand.

There had been plans to KEEP Old Trafford rather than demolish it, and use it as a scaled down second venue.

However, it's looking increasing likely that it will in fact be entirely demolished.

The club consulted with 30,000 fans about what to do and believe there is roughly a 50-50 split on staying or moving.

The club have appointed the architects Foster + Partners to come up with a "masterplan". The company were behind Wembley Stadium.

Old Trafford has been United’s home since 1910.

The target is for completion by 2030.

A closer look from a building next to the arena features a gallery and huge windows that look out to a park and statues of United legends.

Foster + Partners, who designed Wembley Stadium, are the architects that have made the latest drawings.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe says Man Utd's 'Wembley of the North' could be 100,000-seat mega-stadium if they leave Old Trafford

They have also put together a map of what the area could look like, with the "urban regeneration" spreading across the whole of the Trafford Park region.

The regeneration project could cost £2billion with new houses, commercial areas and improved transport links all part of the proposal.
