"I think when we launched the idea of a new stadium 12 months ago, we did say it would take between four and five years for construction and that's right. But I think people read that as we might have the stadium ready for 2030."
"To get the land assembled, to get the funds in place and to get the planning permission. So that's the part that we're doing right now. So we've not named a date for opening, but we are on track within those timescales."
"Some of the examples of progress we've made are first and foremost in land assembly. We want to make sure we get the best possible position for this stadium, one which has got plenty of land around it to put the right facilities."
Manchester United plans to build a new 100,000-seater stadium, with hopes to open it by the 2032-33 season. The project, estimated at £2 billion, is currently in the land assembly and financing phase. CEO Collette Roche stated that construction will take four to five years once preparations are complete. Negotiations for surrounding land have faced challenges, but positive discussions are ongoing. The club is focused on ensuring the new stadium has ample surrounding land for development.
