New stadium. No disruption.. For a quarter of the cost more.

[@quickklik]

new stadium then we can continue playing at Old Trafford

[@ecohipster7724]

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.

[@paarker]

The fact it hasn’t been redeveloped migyy by benefit Liverpool. The stadium and the areas often intimidate teams to help the team win. It’s a useful advantage.

[@FirmNo]

Don’t forget all the amazing moments from rugby league that’s been played at old Trafford as well

[@davidclixby5840]

Renovating the current stadium would take upto 10 years so if they get the money build a new stadium.🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

[@robtyman4281]

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

Build a new 90,000 stadium then bring original stadium back to circa 1994 era when the cantilever roof was finally completed.

Renovate things that is so old and out of date its not easy/cheap option.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.

[@brandonhudson4984]

Totally agree although where would the money come from to do that

[@BrianSmith-lj6ug]

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.

[@clt_james]

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.

[@meiling7437]

[@raymondmassie4898]

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

[@lmaomoofeq2505]

The legacy that Old Trafford holds is unmatched in England or Europe, as a Man Utd fan it would be really hard to let go of that, despite the new stadium getting built on the same property. Whatever the decision maybe, I hope that they retain to pillared structure, make new innovations on that philosphy rather than going for a "Bernabeuesque" structure, it is the signature of our stadium.

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.

[@user-xe1hj1ue3s]

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

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.

It's completely unacceptable that United are wanting the UK government to help them finance it.

[@claudiucobelia4913]

A New stadium build from 0 is way more logic in terms of durability, size and modernism. A New 90000-100000 seats stadium is the best option. And while this stadium is build the team can play on this one and after the Old stadium should be demolished
