Ineos will consider selling naming rights to Old Trafford as part of a move to raise funds to help with the redevelopment of the ground or a new build.
Manchester United will consider selling naming rights to Old Trafford to help fund a new stadium or significant redevelopment, but they will keep the iconic name in some form if a deal does go ahead.
Club sources insist all avenues are being considered at the moment but no firm decisions have been made. United and Ineos are aware that such issues around the stadium could be contentious and discussion and consultation will take place.ALSO READ: United have one last chance to sell forgotten £35m man this summer
The 114-year-old stadium has always been known as Old Trafford and has never had a naming rights partner. New-build stadiums are now more commonly associated with naming rights, such as Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. Tottenham are still seeking a naming rights partner for their new stadium.
