Manchester United is reconsidering its plans to maintain Old Trafford, the club's historic 114-year-old stadium, and may demolish it if they proceed with a new €2 billion super-stadium nearby, dubbed the 'Wembley of the North'. Initial plans aimed to scale down Old Trafford's capacity to 30,000 to preserve its legacy for women's and academy teams, but this approach is now seen as impractical and too costly. The club is setting up a heritage focus group to ensure that significant historical elements, such as the Munich clock and memorials to club legends, are preserved in any new design. Architects Foster and Partners will help plan the redevelopment of the surrounding area, while a survey will be sent to season-ticket holders to gauge fan support. Former players, including Gary Neville, believe that the emotional connection to Old Trafford may be overstated, given its previous expansions. The decision on whether to keep or demolish the stadium will ultimately reflect the club's future direction and commitment to its heritage.
