Mark Goldbridge slams the new Manchester United stadium plans for Old Trafford proposed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe
In an exclusive column for talkSPORT.com, Mark Goldbridge delivers his verdict on a potential move away from Old Trafford, Jadon Sancho’s future and why Rasmus Hojlund is key for the future.When you look at what Barcelona are doing with the Nou Camp, what Real Madrid are doing with the Bernabeu and what Liverpool are doing with Anfield - these are institutions.
Why are we having to move when Liverpool aren’t moving from Anfield? It's because Liverpool have looked after their stadium and kept renovating it. The Glazers have left that stadium for 20 years. Had we kept improving one side and then another over the last 20 years, then we’d be absolutely fine, we’d never need to leave.
It would be devastating if Manchester United leave Old Trafford… and I’d say the same if Liverpool ever left Anfield, it’s just the fabric of the football club. When you hear that Rasmus is going for a meal with his other half or staying at home playing FIFA and getting an early night, that’s a dedication to your sport, and that’s what Man United fans or any fan wants to see. I think more footballers should be doing it. You get paid a lot of money, it's a privilege, it’s the dream of most of us, and it’s a shame when players get led astray and get distracted by that.
If I could only pick one of them, I suppose I would say it would have to be Rasmus, simply because we don't have another striker, whereas you could put someone in instead of the other two, we do have options in those positions, but up front we don't actually have anybody else.
