Recently, it has been reported that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new owner of Manchester United, is pushing forward with plans to either renovate Old Trafford or build a new stadium. Gary Neville, a Manchester United legend, has been invited to join the planning committee and has shared his thoughts on the matter.
According to reports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is considering investing a staggering £2 billion to construct a large modern stadium capable of accommodating 100,000 spectators, which would mean that Manchester United will have to bid farewell to their century-old home, Old Trafford.
As one of the legends of Manchester United, Gary Neville has been invited to participate in this plan. He will work alongside a group of sports figures and senior officials from the city of Manchester to provide advice for Manchester United and its new stadium project.
Neville said, “There are many reasons why I was chosen. Firstly, I played for Manchester United, I have always supported the club, and I also have my own businesses here. Our goal is not just to help Manchester United build the best stadium, but to ensure that our efforts benefit everyone in Trafford, Greater Manchester, and beyond.”
“We know that Manchester United is planning to either renovate or build a new stadium, but the final decision has not yet been made.”
“In my vision, I want to see the development of a ‘Manchester United World’ around the stadium, a place filled with opportunities, hope, and belief. It sounds a bit like Disneyland, but what I’m talking about is not a theme park. I simply want people to feel a sense of ‘wow’ when they come here.”
“In the next five to seven years, I hope that Manchester United will have the best stadium and training center in the world, and continue to do the right things in football. This will all come again, we need to be patient.”
