Sir Jim Ratcliffe aims to construct a 'Wembley of the North' for Manchester United; however, his plans have encountered setbacks amid fan discontent and management changes. Following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag and challenges in hiring a sporting director, Ratcliffe's vision for either refurbishing Old Trafford or building a new 100,000-seat stadium may prove difficult. Insights from football finance expert Stefan Borson point to a lack of government backing for the project, complicating United's aspirations for a new venue and potential revenue enhancement.
Building either an upgraded Old Trafford or a brand new, 100,000 capacity stadium would appear to be high on the agenda for INEOS, as they look to maximise revenue for the club.
Stefan Borson believes there's little chance of government support for the new stadium plans, suggesting that the focus may instead be on major projects like Heathrow.
