Manchester United have confirmed a hugely exciting update on their multibillion-pound Old Trafford regeneration project.
United have released a statement, confirming that the club has secured the majority of the land required to construct a brand new state-of-the-art 100,000-seater stadium.
In March of last year, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe announced ambitious proposals for a new stadium, which is destined to become the largest in the country and will sit on a site adjacent to the club’s historic Old Trafford home.
The 370-acre regeneration project is expected to deliver approximately 15,000 new residential units, including affordable housing, generate 48,000 jobs in the local area and more than 90,000 across the UK, and add in excess of £7 billion each year to the economy.
The main obstacle standing in the way of progress had been an inability to reach an agreement with Freightliner for the land required to construct the new stadium this summer, though a report covered by The Peoples Person indicated that United were optimistic about a resolution.
