"Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is prepared to enforce the sale of land necessary for the redevelopment of Old Trafford stadium, valued at £400m by Freightliner."
"Manchester United plans to replace the 74,310-capacity stadium with a 100,000-seat venue, which could create 92,000 new jobs and generate £7.3bn additional annual economic value."
Mayor Andy Burnham expressed willingness to use compulsory purchase powers to acquire land for Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium redevelopment. The club plans a new 100,000-seat stadium, but needs land valued at £400m by its current owners, Freightliner. Burnham stated that a mayoral development corporation has been established to assist in land assembly. The project promises significant economic benefits, including 92,000 new jobs, 17,000 homes, and an estimated £7.3bn annual impact on the UK economy. Freightliner is considering relocating operations to a new depot in Warrington, St Helens, and Wigan.
