Manchester United plans world record stadium: 100,000 spectators expected!

Manchester, Vereinigtes Königreich - Manchester United, the famous football club from England, is planning to build an impressive new stadium that is to be built right next to the legendary Old Trafford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, minority owner of the association, confirmed the ambitious ambitions of the "Red Devils". "Today, the beginning of an incredibly exciting journey marks the start of the world's largest football stadium," he said. With an expected capacity of 100,000 spectators, the new stadium should not only become the largest England, but also the largest in Europe. The estimated price for the project amounts to around £ 2 billion, which corresponds to around 2.6 billion in US dollars, such as NBC Sports reported.

The current Old Trafford is demolished after the new stadium has been completed. Architect Norman Foster set a construction period of around five years. However, the financing of the construction remains unclear; Manchester United currently has debts of £ 1 billion and recently had to reduce jobs due to financial difficulties. Despite these challenges, the project could have a significant impact on the region, since it is supposed to create 92,000 new jobs and attract 1.8 million additional visitors every year, according to Laola1

The former successful coach Sir Alex Ferguson also commented on this project: "Manchester United should always strive for the best, both within and outside of the field, and that includes the stadium in which we play." The vision for the new stadium includes not only the sporting events, but also a kind of "mini village" that is supposed to be created and thus upgrades the environment around Old Trafford. The plans promise an exciting future for the club and its fans.
