'Now is the time to build a bright future'
A new promotional video offers a tantalising glimpse of what football at Manchester United could look like in the future.
United bosses are working on plans to either redevelop the ailing Old Trafford stadium with an enhanced 87,000 capacity, or build a brand new 100,000 capacity stadium. The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, proclaimed the scheme as potentially the biggest urban regeneration project since the London 2012 Olympics.

The report will go to Trafford council bosses, who will be asked to give the project the green light at some point this year. Trafford council, Manchester United and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority have already formed a strategic partnership to maximise the growth and regeneration opportunities of the area.
