Man Utd secure land to build new 100,000 seater stadium as plans to leave Old Trafford gather pace
The club will resume design work with Foster + Partners and consult supporters as it works to secure the remaining land, officials said.
- Manchester United has secured the majority of a 25-acre plot for a 100,000-seater stadium, purchased from Indurent, a Blackstone portfolio company, located approximately 350m north-west of Old Trafford.
- Negotiations with Freightliner regarding land behind the Stretford End previously stalled after a year of discussions, prompting United to explore alternative options between Wharfside Way, Europa Way, and John Gilbert Way.
- CEO Collette Roche called the acquisition a "significant milestone," while design work resumes with Foster and Partner overseeing the 100,000-seater stadium's development.
- United confirmed supporters will remain consulted throughout the design phase and pledged to engage directly with local businesses impacted by construction to support their transition.
- The Mayoral Development Corporation will publish the wider masterplan for the Old Trafford regeneration project and formal consultation details on July 9.
