Merson criticizes Manchester United's £2bn stadium plans
Paul Merson has heavily criticized Manchester United's ambitious plans to build a new 100,000-seater stadium, calling the initiative 'pathetic' and questioning the club's priorities amid its current struggles in the Premier League. During a recent interview with Sky Sports, Merson expressed disbelief that the club would focus on a new stadium rather than improving the team's performance and acquiring new players. He highlighted that Old Trafford already has a significant capacity, making the need for a new stadium questionable. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has ambitious plans for the stadium, which he claims could boost the UK economy, but Merson contends that the club should prioritize finishing in the top six rather than focusing on infrastructure. The proposed stadium has been met with skepticism from fans and pundits alike, with some likening its design to a 'circus tent.' Merson's comments reflect a broader frustration among supporters about the club's direction and management decisions.
