Recently, Manchester United announced plans to build a new stadium. Naturally, the question arose: where will the team play while the new arena is being constructed? However, the plan is much simpler than expected.
Details: As explained by Patrick Campbell, an architect from Foster + Partners (the firm designing the new stadium), the idea is that Manchester United will continue to play at Old Trafford. The old stadium will not be demolished before the new one is completed.
Quote: “The idea is to ensure that Manchester United can continue playing at Old Trafford throughout the entire process. We've positioned the new stadium nearly in the middle of the Bridgewater Canal and the railway line, to the west of the existing stadium,” Campbell stated in an interview with Manchester United's press office.
Reminder: Previously, representatives of the "Red Devils" expressed concern that the construction of the new stadium might affect the club's transfer capabilities, but they promised to do their utmost to prevent this from happening.
