Greater Manchester Combined Authority: Manchester United have announced plans for a new 1,00,000-seater stadium as the centrepiece of the regeneration of the Old Trafford area which would make it the biggest in England.

United’s current stadium Old Trafford has been their home since 1910 and the iconic ground, with a capacity of 74,310, is the third-biggest in the UK behind Wembley Stadium and Twickenham.

Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said he wants to build the "world's greatest football stadium", which the club hopes could be finished in five years.
