It’s not just in Paris where supporters are afraid of seeing their favorite team leave its emblematic stadium. Old Trafford has been the legendary home of Manchester United since 1910 and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has just acquired a stake in the club, has just dropped a real bomb. The new decision-maker of the Red Devils is seriously considering building a new stadium for MU. A new showcase for the team dear to Sir Alex Ferguson which would also be a competitor at Wembley.
“It is high time to build a national stadium in the north of England. It was at Trafford Park that the industrial revolution began. If you look at this area of Manchester today – just a mile from the center – it is tired and neglected and some parts are very run down. I think there is a strong argument for the regeneration of the whole of south Manchester. The core of this project would be the construction of a new world-class, state-of-the-art stadium which could host England matches, the FA Cup final, the Champions League finals. It could serve the north of England. There is a bias in the UK when it comes to the location of national stadiums, they are all located in the south”he declared in comments relayed by the BBC.
