Manchester United secures land for new 100,000-seat stadium
Manchester United has secured the majority of the land required to
build a new 100,000-seat stadium, marking a major milestone in the long-term vision to transform the Old Trafford area.
The new stadium – which will become the biggest sporting arena
in the UK – will serve as a catalyst for the regeneration of the surrounding district, helping to create one of the most dynamic
and globally significant sporting and entertainment destinations in the world.
The club acquired the 25-acre site, located approximately 350m north-west
of the current stadium, from Indurent, a leading provider of industrial space and a Blackstone portfolio company. United will engage directly
with businesses impacted by the plans to support them through the transition period.
The club has also worked in close collaboration with Trafford Council
and the Old Trafford Regeneration Mayoral Development Corporation (OTRMDC) to ensure the location of the new stadium works cohesively
with the wider Old Trafford regeneration strategy, ensuring optimum connectivity and the best possible experience for fans.
The 370-acre regeneration project is expected to deliver around 15,000
new homes, including affordable housing, create 48,000 new jobs locally and over 90,000 nationally, and add more than £7 billion
a year to the UK economy.
Collette Roche, CEO, Manchester United’s New
Stadium Development, said:
“Today’s news highlights the progress we’re making
towards a world-class new home for Manchester United and represents a significant milestone as we move into the next phase of development.
“Being able to build so close to Old Trafford allows us to
preserve the heritage, traditions and rituals that are so important to our fans. We are committed to building a world-class stadium with
our supporters – not just for them – with atmosphere, affordability and accessibility at the heart of our thinking.
“This is a generational opportunity that is fully aligned
with both local and national growth ambitions. Securing the right land for our new home has been absolutely critical, and the land we’ve
acquired gives us the stage to deliver a truly world-class stadium that honours our past and is ready for our future.”
The OTRMDC will publish its vision for the Old Trafford Regeneration
on Thursday 9 July, when further detail of the stadium site and formal consultation period will also be revealed.
