As a Liverpool fan we have slowly been renovating Anfield it's taken 10 years to renovate half the stadium, no investment in the area, no investment in public transportation and personally I'm not all that amazed by the actual development
I'd say with a land that Manchester United have you are far better Just building a new stadium right by the old one. You keep your area with an updated stadium. You can always make new memories.
ive always thought the old trafford cricket grounds would be the site of the new stadium. but i guess its too historic to tear down.
New stadium. No disruption.. For a quarter of the cost more.
lol, you think it would cost 1.25b new .. double that figure .., it’s ground is awful.
new stadium then we can continue playing at Old Trafford
then what happens to the old old trafford after? tear it down?

A new stadium with 100k capacity, however, a retractable roof is a must. This would allow multinational events to take place at the stadium, think concerts, Wrestlemania, Super Bowl.
Super bowl in england is wild💀💀💀💀💀
The spurs stadium hosts nfl games. What’s your point?
This is simply not an option. Old Trafford is our sacred ground.
NFL would never do the Super Bowl anywhere out of states. Too big of a cash grab here in the states.
Butttt I could possibly see a pro bowl out there. NFL gotta do something to bring competitive entertainment back to the game, but that's a convo for another day 😅
@@PedroC-hk6potoo stuck in the past. Half the players support the idea of a new stadium so Man U can continue to grow and prosper and they lived the clubs most legendary moments…
A new stadium is required. If Manchester United wants to remain at the forefront of global football, and attract global investment, sponsorship and events then a modern state of the art stadium will do just that. Better facilities for fans, modern technology, 5G, cables, WiFi, screens, AI technology, security, media suites, boxes, changing, businesses, offices, sponsorship boxes, VIP suites, restaurants, press rooms etc. Build a stadium that it fit to keep up with demand and expectations for the next 50+ years.
gotta visit old trafford before its rebuilt. its been my dream since childhood
it will dissapoint you and cripple your legs if you are taller then a 12 year old or pay for the best seats in the house which are fit for adults but might be 500 quid
@@darrylbrookes2780 It's not always about physical comfort, sometimes its about the place and moment.

Same here 😭
Renovate things that is so old and out of date its not easy/cheap option. Based on the fact that the club stil can play at old trafford during process i think building a new bigger/better stadium is the right thing to do.
Totally agree although where would the money come from to do that
A brand new 120000 seater stadium would bring in so much more revenue from all the top artists wanting to play there
I want a new stadium too but I think you’re overestimating how popular a 120k seat stadium would be. Very few events would even be able to fill a stadium of that size and no one wants to perform in a half filled stadium. Only the biggest artists and one off events would even think of going there and the fact it’s in Manchester and not London - the capital where a lot more people live and they are therefore likely to earn more money there - also degrades the stadiums value as some event makers will choose Wembley over Manchester to host their event. Basically bigger is not always better for stadiums and just because you have a nice stadium, doesn’t always mean people will flock to use it, especially one up north when there are more famous and geographically beneficial locations.
@@WingZeroCustom001Mr Wrong ! Du tänker helt fel !.
As United fan it will be a proud and competition for Old Trafford to be rebuilt and to be one of the best stadium in the world.
As an American who loves Manchester United and American Baseball (Boston Red Sox), I'll give you a perspective from the Western side of the Atlantic. Fenway Park in Boston seats 45,000 people. It is over 100 years old. It was built when the average size of men was 5 feet 2 inches with and average weight of 125 pounds. Hence, by today's standards, the seats are small, tight fitting and there's no leg room. New England weather is like Scotland - cold, damp, and windy. going to a game is not a very pleasant experience compared to new stadiums such as Yankee Stadium or Busch Stadium in St. Louis or any of the new enclosed stadiums. Yes, there's that romantic notion of preserving Fenway as if it were the Sistine Chapel. It is about as romantic as driving an old Model T Ford. There was a time when the last company to built horse carriages built the best carriages you've ever seen. But would you rather ride in that with no protection from rain, wind and cold, or ride in a Rolls Royce? St. Louis Cardinals built a brand new modern stadium right next to their 100 year old relic, a few years back. The transition went smoothly. MU has as loyal a fan base as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. MU could easily fill a new 100 seat stadium. That's a lot more revenue from every game than the current one. And looking into the future, MU DESERVES a newer modern stadium.
Don’t forget all the amazing moments from rugby league that’s been played at old Trafford as well
Renovating the current stadium would take upto 10 years so if they get the money build a new stadium.🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
No government money should go into the new stadium that Manchester United build. Absolutely NONE.
If the club can't afford to build a new stadium themselves, then tough. They should have thought of this years ago, and put sufficient money aside for such a project.
If Old Trafford becomes too unsafe for matches to be played at, in say 5 years time - then they can go and play their home games at the Etihad.
What next, United asking City for money for their new stadium?!! lol
@@robtyman4281 Seems someone is salty
@@Inside064 .... there's nothing 'salty' about not wanting United to use government money.
I wouldn't want Chelsea (my club) to either. They're both mega rich EPL clubs ffs.
Government money is NOT meant to be given to football clubs.... Premier League, Championship or League 2. They should ALL be privately financed only. It's not where I want my taxes to go.
Government money should be spent on the NHS, Public Transport (that isn't private) - so TfL for example, other Public Services (Rubbish collections, Recycling, Street cleaning, tree pollarding etc). Also on Community initiatives, and on Environmental projects (both urban and rural).
Having it spent by football clubs in order to get new stadiums built, is an absolute joke.
If United haven't the money, then that's their fault- not the government's, nor mine. They can just share with City - seriously. If Old Trafford becomes so bad that United can't have their fans there safely, then they should approach City and beg to share their ground. Of course City will refuse. This is United's problem alone - no one else's.
Are you a United supporter? If you are, and you're a season ticket holder, then perhaps United should be asking all their fans to donate money from their own pockets, in order to finance a new stadium.
But NO government money should be given to United. NONE. Do you understand what I'm saying here??!!
@@Inside064 They have a point though. Between the Glaziers and Ratcliffe, they definitely have enough money.
New stadium obviously it’s a no brainer you have to go with the times and united should be amongst the best in the 🌍!
The glazers should pay £1b 😮😂😂😂and sir Jim pay £1b brand new stadium
They wont even spend £1 on the project
@@Mohammed5i Sir Jim doesnt have 1bn liquid cash...his moeny is all tied up. He took a loan to buy his share of United
@@jamiehall8272 😶😫
the glazers are all about taking money out for themselves!
They could play at Goodison Park whilst the work takes place. It’s not that much further to travel to from London.
Lets be clear, Manchester United are one of thee top 3 richest and biggest / most supported clubs in the world. They can afford to build a new stadium just the same as they can afford to spend crazy money each season on players. They are very profitable.
That said Manchester United want outside support, if others including the local council/government can contribute tens or hundreds of millions towards a stadium then of course Manchester United will gladly accept it.
Why renovate a crumbling shell. New 100,000 stadium.... BRILLIANT
Everton have almost finished their new stadium. Like everyone else no government help was involved. United have got some nerve expecting the public to pay.
Saying the team that never won a PL.
Who is Everton?
I don't know
@@Sahaaf7-uw4hm We have won the Premier League so that qualifies me to say that the chap is correct
@@coops1964 as a team which won more PL then you .I can say whatever.
But respect to Blackburn I hope you return to the PL.
Tirar un estadio con tanta Historia....
Un estadio nuevo también sería magnífico!!
Tottenham's new Stadium is breathtaking, other clubs like Man Utd need to think at that level.The revenue they get from matchday's, concerts,boxing events NFL must be staggering.
United needs a new stadium sometimes its just gone beyond repair because it will keep giving problems. We need to move with the times and if your gonna spend that much to renovate it might as well build a new one that more leliable. Well narrated and great analysis.
Never been to Old Trafford but it's such a landmark in ppl's minds, I quite like the idea of upgrading, over and over again if needs be, rather than moving somewhere else...
This is a similar situation that is happening in Spain between Madrid and Barcelona, like is said in the video. However, like Real Madrid, the history of Old Trafford is infinate, and the 'Theatre of Dreams' has become an iconic global destination. Although, a new build would bring more jobs to the local Manchester community, but, surely a rebuild is what the club needs to retain the legacy.
History of Santiago bernabeau preceeds old traford but whatever mat3
As long as the new stadium is built within the existing land owned by the club, I prefer a new build. Some of the existing infrastructure of the stadium is ancient. Play at current ground while building new then use a down sized old stadium for women’s and youth teams
@@meiling7437 yea aside from Old Trafford being 37 years older than the Bernabeau
@@meiling7437no it doesn’t 🤣
Bro Ur the most underrated content creator out rn
Thanks, bro! Your support keeps me going!
Agreed. Great content and only 431 subs?! I think you are about to rocket my friend, good luck!
@@iceetmarne3571thank you so much! I will keep working hard
A new stadium is the best way. Until then, United can play at Old Trafford.
change the tracks make them go underground and through the stadium expand the seats +30-50k build higher for a vip stand add a see through glass pool if your going to spend billions on the renovation don't be cheap it's better to overpay and overengineer things than going back to spend even more on repairs and under engineer things. 2-3 billion spent on the stadium isn't a loss it's an investment in the long run the value of the club will instantly almost double because of that. So in the end spend as much as possible make it as big as possible and and amenities that will revolutionize stadiums and keep you ahead in the future don't just add a smart screen around the stadium and call it a day.
A shame the club is built on debt.
Man United can finance this stadium themselves. NO government money should go into the building of it, or any other football stadium in the UK.
United, and indeed the PL have enough money 'sloshing' around, without going begging to the government.
It's completely unacceptable that United are wanting the UK government to help them finance it.
United don't have money sloshing around, especially with the Glazer debt still there!
It’s will never be the Wembley of the north, it’s just old Trafford.
I think a "New Trafford" may be the best option for the club.
Renovating the stadium is a stop gap measure and this issue will come up again in a decade
I'm a Liverpool fan and I will say Man United to build a new Stadium 🏟️ of 100,000 capacity once for the future
Build a new 90,000 stadium then bring original stadium back to circa 1994 era when the cantilever roof was finally completed.
You just spew nonsense, do you know how much it take to build 90, 000 stadium? All Manchester united need is new facilities for now.
Build a New Stadium while we keep playing there. Then rip the roof and plasters at OT and renovate it for the Women and Academy
New stadium!
It's better spending time to do an important thing than being in a rush to do what will not last
Thinking outside the box, how about demolishing OT and starting again but renting Goodison Park for a couple of seasons? Man City will never share and I don’t think it’s that far from Manchester? Just a thought, I’m sure Everton could use the money as well.
It’s time for a new stadium. We’ve had a lot of good memories in old Trafford but it’s been here for over a 100 years.
Build a new OT stadium - WEMBLEY of the NORTH, should be first priority. Or renovate the OT as a second thought
I remember when the New Wembley was being built . It went on to cist 1+ billion - at the sametime a football TV show travelled to Germany as one of the sides had just built a brand-new 40k+ stadium for under 100 million ( could have been under 50 million ) .
Such a shame the glazers let it rot to its core, looks great on TV (Apart from the leaks lol) but until you are sat in it, or getting drinks making your way to your seat, its disgustingly bad for such a high profile, world renowned football club. Its also literally so cramped, I'm 6ft 2, its like being sat on a low budget airplane seat
Let's go for a new stadium
keeping the old stadium is only for memories new and improved stadium is the future
NEW STADIUM 🎉
New stadium 🏟
For all of this Ronaldo is the reason for the change! reformer, thanks CR7!!!!
Ratcliffe seems to think everyone else will pay for it and not want anything back. Utd will be years and years behind other clubs by time they get this done
He's after public money for the infrastructure around south Manchester NOT for the stadium costs. Most of that will be from new naming rights and investment opportunities. Trafford park in general is a run down part of town. Same as east Manchester. City owners renovated the whole east side. They were given the etihad and sum public funding for transport links ect. Stop this shite on Ratcliffe being a mercenary. He's done alot for this country.
@@StretfordEnder145 what a load of rubbish. He only wants to do up the stadium not Manchester. Manchester itself can wait. Any money he gets from public will only benefit man utd not the wider community. So get ur head out of ur back side. He is a glazer in disguise
Ratcliffe wants a new stadium but also wants the Government to pay for at least part of it, as a “Wembley of the north”. Good luck with that Jim. lol
no he doesnt. he wants the govt to pay for the development of the surrounding area, this drives jobs, infrastructure etc to the area.
The government won't pay for the stadium.
He wants the infrastructure funded like transport links and a new railway station
And they call us for our stadium now they want the council to pay for there's biggest club my ar$e😂😂
@@garrylapham7469 in English?
So Mo salah is getting a new training ground eh
0:48 what he just said was hilarious, all foreigners
Build a brand new stadium. It's about time Man United have a state of the art stadium.
New Stadium
Let them play at Wembley , it would be easier to get to for most of their fans anyway
New stadium❤
I think they should renovate the new stadium and prevent the problems like rain leaking , concrete expiration, and sun burnt seats then they could use other money for transfers which will make the team super which would give them even more money next season if they become successful
Why should the British government cough up money for a private investment?
@KevinCleghorn please explain west ham example?
Building a brand new stadium will save about a third of the cost of renovating the existing Old Trafford! A new stadium could be build @ todays technologies in record time, I would say max 2 years!
I would like a new stadium on a new site close by if possible. The original Old Trafford should then be scaled down but kept open as a place for local youth matches and a museum.
Build a new one we can take our atmosphere their come on you RED'S pride of ENGLISH FOOTBALL.
Manchester United should build a new stadium because the old stadium is falling apart and wants too much money spending on it
Well As A United Fan I actually like Old Trafford but I like it to Upgrade itself we can't Give up the Theatre Of Dreams
If it the renovation plan didn't displace the club, I would personally prefer the renovation...but a new build may provide more freedom on innovation and landmark status. Keep Old Trafford for academy, Women's team, etc.
New stadium, please
OK
Much respect to the beautiful memories at Old Trafford, however a New Stadium would be more lucrative, moving forward, & particularly one with a retractable roof this time round..
New! Keeping revenue coming in.
Sir Ratcliffe??? It's Sir Jim.
Sun damage in Manchester, lol. Good one
It would have to be a new stadium. Where would they play if they renovated? I can't imagine City allowing them to play in the Etihad, unless United paid a large amount to do so. The nearest football stadium of decent capacity is the Bolton stadium, there are others but they would be too small.
The biggest issue with sharing a stadium is the amount of games that teams play, trying to work both schedules together would be impossible.
The other possible option is to use the Old Trafford cricket ground but I'm not sure if that is even possible.
Build a new 100:000 stadium 🏟️
100k but a stadium that this country has never seen before too. Dont want another bog standard stadium. Make us say wow. Maybe one side of the stadium can be open top like the nou camp? Make it high tier - lofty. I just want to be wowed and want to come back
@@Mohammed5iopen top stadium lol you've clearly never been to Manchester. No one has open top stadiums in England for a reason - it doesn't stop raining!!! And Manchester is the wettest area of England.
@@StanKPhlaps Open top with a retractable roof? Want a stadium the country hasnt seen before. Even if one stand is open top would be amazing. I like how the sansiro is semi open top. Amazing stadium. Just dont want the bog standard stadium
@@Mohammed5i forget an open top stadium in England. It's never going to happen. United doesn't need any gimmicks for a new stadium. It needs one that looks good, has the largest capacity and is built to last for a very long time. That's all.
@@StanKPhlaps Agree with all you said...but it can still have an open top roof? Somethig unique. A retractable roof that can be shut when it rains. I just want a new design that blows the whole country over. No one can come near us lol i like how the san siro is. They have stands that are lofty and semi open. It would be spectacluar
NEW NEW NEW
Only way is a new stadium
Bittersweet decision, but I think we're due for a NEW stadium.
If it’s cramped and crumbling patching it won’t cut it’ll need doing again in 10yrs time. Might aswell take the hit now build new. Then they can still play home games at home and simply move into the new one when it’s ready.
please make it 200000 seater so i can get tickets 😂
even 100000 won't cover the waiting list
I will miss Old Trafford if Man Utd Move to a New Stadium
the new stadium should be built once and for all
New stadium 🏟️ 🔥🔥🔥 Love OT, but it’s time to move on.
They should build a new stadium, revamp old Trafford and have it for the women’s team
No public money should be given to this project.. Birmingham City owners are going to fund a 3 billion project on a new stadium without help so I'm sure Manchester United are able to fund there's
We should keep the old stadium
History > size and looks
Sabastian Coe isn't a Politician, he's a Lord in the house of rubbish.
But didn't Sebastian Coe say his "not in the business of building football grounds."
@@devilcat9843 And your point?
He made a complete mess of West Hams Olympic stadium. It should have been built with football taking over after Olympics.but No! The arrogance of that pup! He wanted a 25K athletics stadium.
Build ftpm ground up. Just keep Old Trafford in the name of the new stadium "New but still Old Trafford"
I would seriously object to my taxes being used to help fund any new developments. Ratcliffe is a multi billionaire and responsible for football operations so he should either cough up the cash himself or ask the actual owners to cover it. The state of the ground has been a standing joke for a long time and cannot have come as a surprise.
New Stadium is the only way forward for Man Utd
build new from ground up then re-coup rent out to major invent such as Boxing, music concert, build restaurants , and shops, and England international games
We Need to Compete with Real Madrid and Barça
Revamp current stadium expanding it to 100000 capacity
New 100,000 stadium
its better to renovate the present stadium. It is better to start with some good features than totally new to save cost
Forget the upgrade. Build a new stadium - bigger and modern.
That's true i agree
ROFL.... anyone else doing this will be docked points but not Trafford United.....people in high places help, right Alex?
It's Sir James not Sir Ratcliffe.
Keeping these 250 staff and the poor state of old Trafford isn't class either.
I had a season ticket for years until illness forced me quit going, I live 24 miles from ground and to watch a 3pm KO I had to leave home at 11.30 and not get home till after 7. The traffic is horrendous so increasing it by another 25k would be a complete mare unless the transport infrastructure is upgraded around Manchester. I’m for it but 8 hrs door to door to watch a match of 2 hrs is a haul
Theatre of streams you mean
Build a complete brand new stadium will be easier and have to the room to expand further in the future
New stadium, I believe the money Sir Jim is looking to get from the government is for infrastructure investment around the stadium not the stadium it's self. Roads, trains, canal, bus services, maybe tax relief onto he project.
Build a new stadium AND create new memories.
The north? Does the country end at manchester?
It is good to build new stadium don’t teak money to anyone all Man U spotter can pay one pound a week we are Man United so we are united all of the world together we can make it
It has to be a new stadium
Build the New Trafford
