Manchester United will build a brand new £2billion Old Trafford rather than redevelop the current ground.

They plan to make an announcement in December about the new stadium which will have a 100,000 capacity and be completed by 2030.

The club has been on fact-finding missions to other grounds, including The Bernabeu and Nou Camp in Spain, both of which have undergone huge renovations.

Officials have also been studying the SoFi Stadium out here in Los Angeles where United played Arsenal, as much for how the area around the ground has been regenerated.

The stadium was completed in 2020 and was part of a £4bn ‘Hollywood Complex’ to regenerate a major area of Inglewood.

It was all funded by Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke and the 70,000 stadium will host six World Cup games in 2026 including the competition’s opener.

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

The Old Trafford task force was set up when Sir Jim Ratcliffe became a part owner of United and had looked hard at regenerating the current ground.

However, a number of logistical problems could have made the cost even higher than a new build while reducing the capacity as work was being done or even requiring the team to temporarily move.
