  1. I thought they were already in debts up to their eyeballs? Where are they going to find another 2 billion?

    I’m hoping it’s not going to be funded by a government scheme. 

  2. Paid for how exactly? Soon to be championship clubs can’t afford 2 billion pound stadia

  4. Looks like some AI generated.

    I know we’ll never get the old school ground vibe but this seems just far too much.

  6. I can’t wait to see them play against Wrexham in their mighty new stadium – in the Championship in two years.

  7. Everyone should go watch Gary Neville’s interview with JR. Great to get an insight into the club. This is part of a rejuvenation project by the government. The stadium will be paid for by the club.

  8. So last week everyone has to eat soup and a roll, this week they’re building a £2bn stadium….. 🤡

  9. Love the line about the roof collecting rainwater….

  12. There will be civil unrest if the government even considers building it for the cap in hand scruffy faced fcks

  14. What is it with shit clubs building billion pound stadiums that they haven’t earned in recent years?

  15. They will make up the money on match day binoculars hire

  17. Looks very Vegas or Dubai style. However design aside always good to see rejuvenation to areas.

  18. No finance in place, no agreements from government on regeneration (as in how much they’ll pay for it!), no time scale (other than a wish!) and no real plans other than some CGI illustrations.

    By the time this happens, costs will have risen to £3b, it’ll be 2038 and man utd might well be in the championship.

    It’s just a big PR exercise along with that interview to try and turn the narrative after the protests. Back in the real world, ticket prices are going up again in the coming weeks for leaky very old Trafford, whilst the fans pay for overpriced wages of players who don’t play for the club.

    I’m not even a man utd fan, but like to highlight the obsurdity!

  19. Oh! So THATS why they’ve been crap for ages! The stadiums too old! I bet as soon as this new one is done they’ll start winning for sure, and there’s absolutely no need to put that £2b into improving the squad instead.

  20. Who are people gonna watch at it? United? Good grief

  21. Man united to demolish old Trafford.

    That was the perfect sentence.

  22. They’ll need to sack some more dinner ladies before they can afford this.

  23. Been built outside the UK though. Giving the finger to local businesses.

  24. Amazing isn’t it? Only last month they couldn’t keep low paid staff because they’re on the brink of going bust, but then they magically find £2billion!
