Old Trafford threatened with closure
Man United plans new stadium for 100,000 fans
The managers of English record champions Manchester United are considering the construction of a new soccer stadium with a capacity of 100,000.
According to reports in the British media on Monday, a working group set up specifically for this purpose is currently examining the feasibility of such a construction project. A decision is to be made by the end of the year as to whether a new stadium will be built or the traditional Old Trafford will be modernized.
The cost of modernization is reportedly estimated at 1.2 billion pounds (around 1.4 billion euros), while a new stadium is estimated at two billion pounds (2.4 billion euros). United shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is driving the project forward, expressed the hope in February that a new stadium could become the "Wembley of the North".
