For the Premier League team, it is not easy to build a new stadium: they can't get low-cost land by relying on relationships like Barcelona and Real Madrid, after all, the British Isles, many teams are located in cities where every inch of land, Chelsea wanted to build a new stadium before, but the plot where the team is located is too expensive, let alone another stadium, want to expand and rebuild, the conditions are not allowed.
But for Manchester United, building a new stadium remains one of the team's goals for the past two years. Old Trafford's facilities have not been updated for many years and it is long overdue for renovations, and when Ratcliffe came to power, he also made building a new Old Trafford one of the team's main goals in recent years – whether for the sake of the fans or the management, an old Old Trafford must be a thing of the past.
Fortunately, compared to the Glazer period, Manchester United are much more efficient today. In the off-season, Manchester United quickly assessed two redevelopment plans for Old Trafford, the first of which was to find a new site around the stadium and build a new stadium, which is expected to take six years and cost around £2 billion, so that United can play at Old Trafford without the fans and players being displaced.
The second plan, Manchester United will start the repair work directly at Old Trafford, they have to do including repairing the setup, adding seats, expanding the grandstands, and building internal commercial settings, which is expected to cost 1 billion pounds, but the progress of this set of projects is difficult to estimate, Manchester United will have to move out for a while, and the team games and fan placement are headaches.
According to Ratcliffe's own plans, he is personally inclined to rebuild the stadium. Despite the Glazer family's financial ruins at Manchester United, Ratcliffe is still willing to invest money for Manchester United, plus the naming of the new stadium and short-term borrowing, as long as all parties can agree, Manchester United will not have to worry about raising money.
At the moment, Manchester United intend to make the plan a little bigger and make the plate bigger first. They linked the old and new Trafford to Manchester's neighbourhood schemes, relied on the commercial development of the neighbourhood to promote themselves, and they did not forget to work with the authorities to achieve a binding of interests through the transport plan at Old Trafford – considering that there will be a lot of hearings on the creation of the new and old Trafford after that, Manchester United's actions at this time can be regarded as buying hearts and minds for themselves.
At present, Manchester United are still considering the details of the old and new Trafford, but just looking at the construction of the stadium of the Premier League team, the construction party may become the biggest problem for the new and old Trafford. Because of Brexit and various labour laws, Manchester United wanted to build the new old and new Trafford, and had to hand over the work to local construction companies, but due to the poor economic environment, these companies may not be able to deliver on time, and before that, many English teams have suffered delays in the delivery of their stadiums.
Of course, the off-pitch changes will not affect United's strategy as they are close to sending off Aaron Wan-Bissaka and it is only a matter of time before Mazraoui is brought in, and once Lindelof is able to leave, they will also have a bit of leverage in the negotiations for De Ligt. With Ashworth taking over Manchester United's recruitment, there may be room for the Red Devils to manoeuvre in the summer window.
