Manchester United appoint Foster + Partners to develop Old Trafford masterplan

Manchester United have appointed Foster + Partners to develop a masterplan for the area surrounding Old Trafford as part of their ambitious regeneration project.

The Premier League club are looking either at redeveloping the nation’s largest club stadium, or to build a new one on adjacent club-owned land.

United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe favours a new ground and the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force is understood to have centred its discussions on building a new 100,000-capacity stadium rather than redeveloping the existing ground.

The club have now appointed Foster + Partners “to develop a masterplan for the Old Trafford Stadium District, covering the Club-owned land that surrounds the existing stadium”.
