Manchester United's Carrington training ground has undergone a significant £50m redevelopment, funded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The revamp aims to modernise the facilities, which were previously criticised, and foster a more collaborative environment for staff and players.

New features include smart urinals for hydration tracking, sleeping pods, a high-altitude training room, and recreational amenities like an F1 simulator.
