People need to stop feeling attachment to a bunch of bricks. If its better for the club to build a fully new stadium, they should do that. What makes the club is the people. Not the stadium, not even the players. It's always the people and the community around it. People need to realize that. Highbury was imo iconic and when they moved into the Emirates it felt off. But years after people have gotten used to it and there's loads of atmosphere in that stadium now. I remember the same with Ajax. When Ajax moved from their old stadium into The Cruyff Arena and felt like an empty bunch of bricks. But years after they gave it an identity and it feels like Ajax now. My point is that it shouldn't matter. Old Trafford will stay a part of their history and a new stadium would become a new part of their history. You can't stay forever in a bunch of bricks, one day it will fall apart but the club can stay on its feet due to the people and community around it, thats the actual club.

I’m 62 now, and first went to OT in 1972 when I was 10…..loads of great memories in that place - but I honestly think it’s time to move on.

This team is broken from the core everyone is still stuck in the old models that worked in the 2000s. Spending millions without any adequate structure and positive environment will take us nowhere. Chelsea and PSG are also some good examples of this. When Chelsea was bought 2 years ago a lot of good people also left the team which left them in their current situation. We can't keep on (only) blaming the players. All of them were playing well before joining our team, not it's like they are in an old age home, ready to retire. We have to be honest, our team is a career killer and we need to look deep into it

Stadium should be rebuilt and the old stadium take down to 30-40 thousand seat for youth and women team so we can still have tours, where they get that land map from the own more then that the been build plot for decades ..

Considering the ground in the area is sinking (I worked over the road and the building had sunk 3 inches in a year) they should probably move

Build a new stadium, can’t expand the stand next to railway line, roof goes in too low around ground, a new more modern stadium with more space is what we need. Old Trafford will always be an iconic stadium but reached its limits in expansion

Rebuild is not feasible without either playing in a different stadium for a couple of seasons (which would greatly harm revenue) OR buying more surrounding land to build a new stadium beside the current one. Just refurbish Old Trafford. Plain and simple solution, still by far the biggest club stadium in uk. Barcelona have on average 15,000 empty seats per game.

Does a new stadium change the history of the club? I mean you have to be a real idiot to say NO to a new bigger stadium?

Sir jim is right,we want young fresh blood,look at our young attackers they are amazing and mainoo

New stadium make it 100k seater and the best that' was ever build it will be full every home game

FA Cup Finals away from Wembley! Not a chance! What a downgrade that will be for teams. Knocking down old Trafford heritage will cost them more, but they are only doing it for a profit. Keep Old Trafford and build it up and use the other space. Get more seats and keep the heritage. Either way there is no wrong decision.

100,000 seats is too low. I would have expected at least half a million seats.

Kind of stupid question when no one has seen any plans

The patient bird gets the worm

Old Trafford needs a new stadium, the stadium now is rusting and outdated, if anything serious happens in that stadium, and people are injured, there will be massive law suits, building a new stadium, yes, it will cost a fortune, but, with the supporters, and other means that the new stadium could be used for, it could be paid of a lot quicker. Then with the team, get rid of any players overpaid and not good enough for those wages, which is a lot of those players, and rebuild the squad.

Fixing the team is more important than that the stadium for me

Geoff Bent, Roger Bryne, Eddie Colman,Duncan Edward’s,Mark jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor and Liam Whalen. There’s 8 reasons to why we should not knock old Trafford down it was there home it was there dreams that’s more than bricks and mortar more that steel and glass a new stadium won’t have that sort of make up blood sweat and tears have all been united at old Trafford

That red line is wrong! The club own more of the land left than that red line! The Club is tied with the problem of the railway line. The roof design is restricted to fans sitting in the upper floors of the north East and west stands. The lower part of stands south north east and west have restricted legroom. There is no space for Big TV screens like at spurs. The concourses are cramped and there are no fan experience before or after games. No fan zones ect. Spurs can make £6m a game £2m a game more than us. We need to get back to be setting the standards on and off the pitch like we used to. New build is the best way of doing this.

Looking at those plans there is not enough room to build another stadium without knocking ot down and play somewhere else which will mean a loss of revenue.... Renovate!!!

Why would it? Spurs used wemberly as a home venue while their was built, united could do the same. That has a capacity or about 14-15k more than OT. I admit wemberly is not ideal as a home venue as it's location is miles away from Manchester, but my point is more, there are venues that would keep the same revenue, even increase it.

@@joshsmith255 how can you say that when united would have no say on ticket prices if it was a venue share? But if course other clubs would agree to a share, as would united if it's the other way around. Clubs are not silly and they know this same thing could happen to them at some point so allow it for that reason. Plenty of teams have ground shared in the prem in the past.

I want Man u to go back to their old glory with this young up coming players

Also it’s not in Manchester and “industrial heritage” it’s probably the richest place in Manchester with media city etc

I think they should refurbish old trafford completely, they could staart by changing the stands round , so they face the car park and not the rubbish they see on the pitch .

Rebuild. Love OT but we need a new one.

Not difficult at all. Just spend the money and shut up. Bring genuine design quality, Exceptional planning, and fund it yourself.

Why does every brit keep saying " sir jim" but won say it when talking about people who isn't from the UK? (Out of curiosity)

Knock it down but don't build another one would be the best option

Can’t they build it nearer to the fan-base?

Bulldoze Old Trafford and move to somewhere more local like Plymouth

Rebuild state of the Art change is really needef🎉

I love how TV channels emply the greatest specialists in each field to enlighten the public. Or, then again, maybe not? You're talking about a stadium. You're debating construction. Maybe asking a few Engineers and Architects would be a good idea, for the public to understand what goes into consideration by the owners and the board. I for one, since I know nothing about stadium building, think you should build a flying stadium. Or maybe a stadium on the Moon. I know, it's a stupid opinion, but its validity is on par with Sky's.

No, rules are still all seated. There are trials for safe standing going on, which includes anfield, but no confirmation on whether that will become league wide.

You would have to get in their quick then! As Everton have likely budgeted for demolition and sale of the stadium land to finance their new one.

Even the stadium like the team looks run down and old

Why do Sky Sports insist on lying about Man United’s spending? Pogba, Lukaku and Antony’s transfer fees are a combined £26mill more on the slide than what United actually paid. How can’t you take anything said serious when they’re blatantly misleading you with the information being provided?

should be at least 100.000 the match against Liverpool would have got 120,000 easily

He didn't say they aren't going to be spending big, he said they'd be looking for the next Mbappe. That isn't going to come cheap whoever it is!

Build new ground is the future of football and what they need.

The fair play rules have made it so that clubs are now just focusing on making themselves into mega corps.

Rebuild. Look at Arsenal and Tottenham. Very impressive grounds thst will please the corporates but soulless in comparison to their old grounds. If football really is about the fans then we have to stay.

Keep it. All modern stadiums look the same. Heartless, soulless flat pack ovals.

He is right , they are right to find their own talent and then sell them to the big boys 👍

If you think United is only going to buy those players you lie. United and Superstars are intertwined

They need a 95 thousand seater stadium

He’s not asking for tax payers money to build a stadium. He’s asking for it because of the investment in the surrounding area. Some of these media people need to do better.

They should build a new stadium. The current stadium is no longer fit for purpose.

50mil, each player should be the limit for united anything more they flop. midfielder defender striker

Rebuild for me.

Refurb please. Look at Real Madrid. It can be done. Old Trafford holds 75k anyway, so just update it instead of building a new stadium.

Jims best return on investment would be to build an Ineos factory where Old Trafford is and forget the club ever existed.
