Amid the excitement of the summer transfer window, Manchester United are also tailoring the plans for their biggest move. Last week, United confirmed they will be building their new 100,000 seater stadium, 350 metres away from the current Old Trafford. The new site, will sit on land recently purchased from Indurent.
Announcing the relocation, CEO of the stadium development Collette Roche said: "Was it a big decision to be 350 metres further away from Old Trafford? No, because quite simply we're in Old Trafford, which is really important. But going back to what's more important to us is that we can't disrupt what we're doing today.
"We've got ambitious plans for the club, we want to win football matches. Being 350 metres away for the next four or five years, or however long it takes to build a stadium, is going to be really important because if it's too close, it will be disruptive."
