Mayor Andy Burnham has been outlining the possibilities in redeveloping Old Trafford and its surrounds.
The club's owners are expected to make a final decision on whether to build a new 100,000-seat stadium or redevelop Old Trafford
However, a freight rail terminal situated behind the stadium needs to be moved to free up land to make room for any expansion and Mr Burnham suggested some taxpayers cash could go into infrastructure needed to move it to Merseyside. Mr Burnham has now called on the government to fund plans to connect the under-construction Parkside freight terminal on the St Helens-Wigan border to the West Coast Main Line, which could cost in the region of hundreds of millions of pounds.
