Earlier, a number of media have disclosed that Manchester United are preparing to rebuild Old Trafford in the near future, which was officially confirmed today.
On the evening of April 14, Beijing time, Manchester United officially announced that it had appointed an industry-leading team of top consultants to develop a master plan for the transformation of the Dream Theatre.
The advisory team will be led by legends International and Populous, who have extensive experience in stadium development around the world.
The Red Devils said in the official announcement that in order to enhance the fan viewing experience, the hired team will immediately begin to develop plans for the renovation of Old Trafford stadium and study the feasibility of some options.
Later this month, the club will organise a meeting between the advisory team and representatives of Manchester United fans. The club said the opinions of the fans were a top priority in the stadium renovation plan.
Last month, the BBC, The Athletic and other media revealed that Manchester United is evaluating plans to transform Old Trafford, which is now significantly behind other world-leading stadiums.
The club received three redevelopment plans from the bidding company: 1. a complete demolition and reconstruction, 2. an expansion of the Scope of the Bobby-Charlton Stand, and 3. a complete renovation of the spectators and commercial areas on all four sides of the stadium.
The club was told it could cost £1.5 billion if demolished and rebuilt, which would be the most expensive stadium to build in the UK.
Due to the instability of the current international situation, which has brought a lot of uncertainty to Manchester United's rebuilding of the stadium, this plan is expected to be abandoned. Options 2 and 3 are the actual paths United consider.
In addition, the renovation plan of the team's training base is also in preparation. KSS will be in charge of the project to provide more advanced training facilities for the men's first team, women's team and youth echelon.
