United will have to rely on themselves. The state will not fund the redevelopment of Old Trafford

INEOS boss and Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks set to forget about tapping into public money for the Old Trafford redevelopment and rely solely on his own funds.

Details: According to the BBC, citing Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, the stadium redevelopment project does not involve public funding at this stage. But public money could be used to relocate the rail freight terminal that sits next door to the stadium and build transport infrastructure.

Recall: Now two options for the future of Manchester United stadium are being considered: either Old Trafford will be reconstructed, or the club will build a new stadium for two billion pounds with a capacity of one hundred thousand seats.
