Manchester United Announce Plan To Build New 100,000-Seater Stadium

Manchester United on Tuesday, March 11, announced their desire to build a two-billion-pound 100,000-seat stadium next to the existing Old Trafford. The new stadium is expected to be the biggest in Britain as part of the club's plans to regenerate the Old Trafford area. United have appointed Foster + Partners to develop the stadium district and the firm revealed the conceptual images and scaled models of the new home for the club and its surrounding area. United are hoping that the regeneration project will deliver an additional 7.3 billion pounds per year to the UK economy and create 92,000 new jobs and more than 17,000 new homes.
