Man Utd retain new stadium dream for 2035 Women's World Cup
Manchester United are still aiming to have their new stadium built and ready to host the 2035 Women's World Cup final. Sir Jim Ratcliffe unveiled grand plans for a 100,000-seater venue close to Old Trafford more than a year ago. Collette Roche told the club's Inside Carrington podcast, "We did say it would take between four and five years for construction."
Roche also said, "People read that as we might have the stadium ready for 2030. But 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." Roche told MUTV, "Our plan is to be able to host other international sporting events and entertainment events." Andy Burnham, the mayor, said his ambition would be for them to host the final for the Women's World Cup in 2035. The project is likely to cost more than £2bn.
United have continued to stress work was going on 'behind the scenes'. The club did not have the land to build on, the plans were not in place and there was no detailed business case. The five years starts from the point at which United get the green light to put spades in the ground. The precise details of the stadium location are yet to be agreed.
Quick Summary
Manchester United still hope to have their new stadium ready in time for a major event. The club is working to get everything in place- but what challenges remain before construction can begin?
