On March 11, Manchester United declared its ambition to construct a new stadium with a capacity of one hundred thousand seats. This venture will cost the club 2.5 billion euros, and as highlighted at Old Trafford, it could affect the team as well.
Details: The club's CEO, Omar Berrada, stated that such investments might influence the team's transfers and, consequently, its competitiveness over the next five years. However, Manchester United will strive to avoid this.
Quote: “It's a risk. Obviously, we want to avoid it. We don't want to hinder our ability to invest in the team to keep it competitive while we build the new stadium. There are different ways to circumvent this; one of them is to shorten the construction period, so we can have the new stadium within five years, that's our ambition,” Berrada told Reuters.
