MANCHESTER UNITED look set to announce plans to build a brand new 100,000-seater stadium today, according to reports.
The project is expected to cost £2billion and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has secured government backing to regenerate the area around United’s current Old Trafford home.

The Red Devils are expected to announce their decision on Tuesday, according to The Athletic.
United have been assessing options for the future of Old Trafford virtually ever since Ratcliffe’s arrival in February 2024.
Earlier this year, a designated task force delivered its report on the feasibility of either redeveloping the existing 115-year structure or rebuilding a new brand stadium.
And the struggling club have reportedly chosen to pursue a new-build state-of-the-art arena.
United’s plans of building a new ‘Wembley of the North’ home received a major boost in January when the proposal received the backing of the government.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, is one of the leading voices championing the regeneration project.
