Manchester United recently completed the modernization of the player’s tunnel at Old Trafford just in time for the new Premier League season. This renovation is part of the widespread changes being implemented by the club’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and the leadership group. The club is also considering whether to redevelop Old Trafford or build a new stadium due to concerns about the stadium’s condition.
The player’s tunnel at Old Trafford has been refurbished and now features the club’s colors, black and red, as well as LED lights. The club’s crest, Red Devils silhouette, and the word ‘UNITED’ adorn the walls, giving the tunnel a fresh and updated look. Additionally, plaques paying tribute to former club figures have been repositioned, and further work is planned to improve seating areas at the stadium.
Manchester United is exploring the possibility of building a new 100,000-capacity stadium, dubbed the ‘Wembley of the North,’ while also considering preserving Old Trafford for the women’s and academy teams. The club has engaged with fans to gather input on the new stadium plans, with a decision expected by the end of the year.
In addition to the stadium renovations, Manchester United is investing £50 million in refurbishing their Carrington training ground. This project aims to create a world-class environment for the teams to succeed and ensure that the training facilities meet the highest standards. The construction work at Carrington is set to last for the duration of the upcoming season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe emphasized the importance of upgrading the training facilities to enhance performance on the pitch, expressing excitement about the improvements to come. The club’s commitment to modernizing both the stadium and training ground reflects their dedication to maintaining a competitive edge in the Premier League.
