On August 12, according to The Sun, Manchester United fans oppose the club’s construction of a new stadium, saying that the Red Devils will lose their soul and sense of belonging, and will cause inconvenience and trouble for the lives of Manchester residents.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new owner of Manchester United, is committed to building a new stadium for the club, and is prepared to spend £2 billion on it. The new stadium is planned to be completed by 2030. The new stadium will have a capacity of 100,000 fans, and when it is completed, it will surpass Wembley Stadium to become the largest stadium in England, and will be the second largest stadium in Europe, only behind Barcelona’s home ground, Camp Nou.
Manchester United fans, when interviewed, expressed their inability to accept the club’s construction of a new stadium: “If Manchester United play in a new stadium, then the atmosphere of the game will be very different. The new stadium is not only expensive, but will also tear away the soul of the Red Devils, leaving Old Trafford will mean that Manchester United will lose its sense of belonging. I would rather Manchester United stay, the club rebuilds Old Trafford. Moreover, after Manchester United moves to the new stadium, ticket prices may rise as a result.”
Other fans also talked about the nuisance that the new stadium would bring: “The new stadium will bring problems for the residents’ lives. People will litter nearby, park illegally, and even use the nearby alleys as toilets.”
