Manchester United’s new stadium – level 3
14-03-2025 15:00
Manchester United have announced plans to build a new 100,000-seat stadium, which will be the largest in the UK. They aim to create the world’s greatest stadium expected to generate 7.3 billion pounds annually for the UK economy.
The project will be part of a major regeneration of the Old Trafford area, bringing 92,000 jobs and 17,000 homes. The club’s co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, stated that the current stadium has served well for 115 years but has fallen behind top venues. By building next to the existing site, they can preserve Old Trafford’s history while creating a modern stadium. The project will also drive long-term investment in the area.
The government supports infrastructure growth, especially in northern England, and the club sees this as an opportunity to build a stadium that matches Manchester United’s status. They hope the stadium will become an iconic landmark, similar to famous venues like Wembley or the Eiffel Tower.
Difficult words: regeneration (making an area better and more modern), venue (the place where something happens), iconic (widely recognized and well-established).

How will the regeneration project transform the Old Trafford area in terms of job creation, housing, and long-term investment, and what steps are being taken to preserve the club’s historical legacy?
