Manchester United's recent announcement about a new 100,000-capacity stadium has ignited excitement among local residents. The proposed project aims to create 92,000 jobs and includes plans for 17,000 new homes in the area. Locals like Curtis Martyn and Sandra Aguilera express enthusiasm for the regeneration, viewing the current stadium as dated. The estimated cost of the project is £2 billion, with construction expected to start soon, aiming for completion within five years. The new stadium is set to surpass Wembley in capacity and transform the locale significantly.
Even on a freezing, rainy day with no match scheduled, the area surrounding Old Trafford in Manchester is abuzz with football fans from far and wide.
I'm excited about the new quarter, I love the idea of investing in the north I think that's important, I love the idea of connection.
Looking at the stadium from their gardens, she says it's an eyesore: It's not nice at the moment, it looks like a factory from the 80s.
The football club said they aim to finish building within five years with the architects Foster + Partners hoping to begin work this year.
