Manchester United continue to move forward with their futuristic plans to build a new stadium (Wembley in the north) and abandon the legendary Old Trafford, which was last renovated in 2006.
The Daily Mail has revealed details of the new stadium, which will be built on land owned by Freightliner, with Manchester United submitting a bid of more than €57.5 million compared to the €460 million requested by the owners.

Manchester United and Freightliner are close to reaching an agreement despite a 350m difference.
This will be Manchester United’s new stadium, which is scheduled to open in 2030.
The old Old Trafford, built in 1910, will be demolished as Manchester United invest €2.4 billion to build the new Old Trafford.
Manchester United’s plan is to build a futuristic, modern, covered stadium that can accommodate up to 100,000 spectators, and hopes to open during the 2030-31 season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United and Britain’s richest man, has described Manchester United’s future stadium as “incredibly iconic”.
In 2014, the Red Devils’ owner dubbed the new stadium project the “Wembley of the North”.
Manchester United’s ‘Wembley of the North’ was designed by renowned architect Sir Norman Foster, who is married to Spanish psychologist and presenter Elena Ochoa.
