Old Trafford could be knocked down and rebuilt under plans being considered by Manchester United.

United are close to appointing preferred partners for what would be the biggest redevelopment project in the club’s history after an exhaustive tender process in which bidders were asked to submit three different design proposals.
The most ambitious of those options is for a complete rebuild of Old Trafford, the country’s largest club stadium with a capacity of 74,140 seats and United’s home since 1910.
If United pressed ahead with such a move, a new, larger stadium with a capacity to rival Wembley’s 90,000 would be built on a reconfigured site. It would also feature a smaller, second ground to host the women’s team and academy matches.
The Glazer family have come in for heavy criticism in recent years from supporters for neglecting Old Trafford, which has become tired and outdated, particularly in relation to some of their rivals’ new state-of-the-art stadiums.
