Manchester United have turned to the Architects behind Tottenham Hotspurs stadium to redevelop Old Trafford.
Manchester United are set to redevelop Old Trafford and have turned to the Architects behind Tottenham Stadium to create the plan.
Last month it was reported that Manchester United were considering all plannings for a redevelopment of their 112-year-old home ground, including the possibility of demolishing the existing structures and building an entirely new stadium, although that remains the least likely option to be taken up.
Although three sides of the stadium have been expanded over the last three decades, the South Stand has remained a problem due to the proximity of the railway which runs directly behind it, though it is believed new technology offers ways of solving that issue.
Architects Populous and management consultants Legends International will work jointly on plans to update the largest club stadium in English football with the aim of increasing capacity and enhancing fan experience.
Both companies worked on the development of Tottenham’s state-of-the-art 63,000-seater stadium, which opened in 2019.
A statement on United’s website read: “The team will be led by Legends International and Populous, both of which have a wealth of stadium development experience from across the globe.
“Work will begin immediately on developing options for Old Trafford and studying their feasibility, with the aim of significantly enhancing the fan experience.
