Manchester United's new minority owner, Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have unveiled ambitious plans for a 100,000-seater stadium. Foster + Partners has been appointed to assess the regeneration of Old Trafford, with Wembley and Lusail stadiums serving as potential blueprints.
Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have offered their clearest hint yet as to what the future of Manchester United may look like. The new Red Devils minority owner has not hidden his ambition to create a new Old Trafford , with grand plans for a 100,000-seater mega stadium set to be submitted by the end of this year.
Forster + Partners worked alongside Populous on the construction of Wembley Stadium and the Lusail Stadium in Qatar - which could well now act as two potential blueprints for United's new ground. The new Wembley Stadium cost a reported £798million to build, which is equivalent to £1.51billion today, while The Lusail Stadium in Qatar cost £577.9million to build, though reports have varied since work commenced.
Foster + Partners were responsible for the aesthetic facades of Wembley and the Lusail Stadium with Populous overseeing the technical requirements of both stadiums. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has overlooked Populous, since becoming a minority shareholder at United, in favour of fellow Mancunian Lord Foster's firm.
