Manchester United plan to keep Old Trafford if they build new stadium
Ground likely to be scaled down to about 30,000 seatsUnited’s women’s team and academy would play there
Manchester United do not plan to demolish Old Trafford if they build a new stadium. Their home ground since 1910 would probably be scaled down to a capacity of about 30,000 for use by the women’s team and academy.
With the women playing most home games about 15 miles away in Leigh, such a move would be a significant upgrade for them, but the plan would also be carried out with history in mind.
