Securing private capital for such a massive development is a significant undertaking, especially since the club's existing debt is already nearing the £1.3bn mark. Furthermore, the Red Devils face complex negotiations to acquire adjacent land, with talks currently stalling over the valuation of a rail yard owned by Freightliner. Consequently, the timeframe remains fluid. Addressing the schedule, Roche noted: "When we launched the idea of a new stadium 12 months ago, we did say it would take between four and five years for construction and that’s right. But I think people read that as we might have the stadium ready for 2030, but with a stadium build as complex as the one that we’re going to enter into, it does take one or two years to get ready for construction – to get the land assembled, to get the funds in place and to get the planning permission."
