We can confirm that Manchester United plan to knock down the current Old trafford stadium in order to make way for a new one.
Designs for the new 100,000-seater venue, which is expected to cost in excess of £2billion, will be revealed on this live blog shortly.
Speaking on The Overlap, Sir Jim Ratcliffe bigged up the new stadium project, saying:
_'I won’t say much more, but Norman Foster, who also is a Mancunian, and is the world’s greatest architect in my view, really has created the most iconic stadium.'_
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has had a lot of bad PR during his time at Manchester United. Today, for better or for worse, could shift the narrative.
How will Man United fans respond to his stadium plans? What will club grandees and legends make of it? Today is a potentially legacy-defining day.
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of Manchester United's imminent reveal of their stadium plans.
In just a few minutes, we will be able to see how one of world football's biggest clubs plan to step into a new era - and how long it will take.
