Description
Description | Manchester United plans to build a new £2 billion stadium, dubbed the 'Wembley of the North', next to their current Old Trafford home. The project requires acquiring land currently used as a rail freight terminal owned by Freightliner. Negotiations over the land price are deadlocked, with Freightliner demanding £400 million while United values it at £40-50 million. This disagreement threatens to delay the project, which aims to have the stadium built by 2030. The entire stadium project is estimated to cost £4.2 billion, with the stadium itself costing £2 billion, potentially rising to £3 billion due to escalating costs. |
