'The first stage' - Manchester United give 'important' Old Trafford update

Manchester United have confirmed they are inviting supporters to have their say on the club's plans for Old Trafford and the regeneration of the Trafford Wharfside area.

United, via email, will distribute a survey to all season ticket holders for the men's and women's teams, United members and executive club members this coming Friday (September 20).

The club has said the survey is the 'first step in the fan consultation phase of the Old Trafford regeneration project'. A task force has been created by United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to oversee the regeneration of Old Trafford and the land around it.
