Majority of Manchester United Fans Favor New Stadium

A recent survey of over 50,000 Manchester United fans revealed that 52% prefer demolishing Old Trafford and building a new stadium, while 31% favor redeveloping the existing structure and 17% are undecided. The survey, which received record engagement, indicated that older fans are more inclined towards a new build, whereas younger supporters tend to prefer redevelopment. The club’s leadership, including co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force, is evaluating these results to inform future stadium plans. An options report is expected by the end of this year, but a final decision may be delayed until 2025. Key considerations for fans include preserving the historic elements of Old Trafford and improving ticket availability and atmosphere. Director of fan engagement, Rick McGagh, emphasized the importance of this feedback in shaping a world-class stadium that meets fan expectations.
