Failing that, they could transform the existing Old Trafford to bring it to the level of football’s top stadia.

The Trafford Park complex would feature the prospect of a major transport hub, along with premises dedicated to sports, residential, entertainment, business and an education campus. 

According to the Daily Mail, such a regeneration could boost the UK economy by £7.3billion.

That’s after Man United commissioned Oxford Economics to carry out an assessment of the fiscal impact of their proposals.

The global advisory firm found that the plans would deliver huge growth, including 92,000 new jobs, 17,000 new homes and 1.8million visitors to the area per year.
