Man United fans are set to step beyond the grandeur of the Old Trafford stadium.
Every football lover has dreamt of visiting Old Trafford in Greater Manchester once in their lifetime to experience the stadium's legacy, heritage, and reminiscence. The stadium stood a silent spectator to countless victories and the rise of the greatest of all time.
Lately, the Manchester United home ground has been through multiple stunning transformations within just a few years, and fans have shown their love for the new looks of their favorite arena every time.
However, things didn’t go the same this time when Manchester United revealed how their home ground would look soon. They revealed that they’re planning to make Old Trafford a 100k-seater stadium with a budget of 2 billion.
Manchester United is the world’s most favorite football club and, in my view, is the biggest and deserves a stadium fitting of its stature. We have 1 billion people around the world who follow Manchester United. They will all want to visit this stadium ~ Jim Ratcliffe, part owner.
He revealed that the project shall be completed by 2031. Ratcliffe delved into the reasons for building the new stadium.
Today marks the start of an incredibly exciting journey to the delivery of what will be the world’s greatest football stadium. Our current stadium has served us brilliantly for the past 115 years, but it has fallen behind the best arenas in world sport.
However, football fans didn’t seem to like the idea and flooded the internet with hilarious memes and comments.

The new anticipated look of the stadium features distinctive overhead fencing, leaving space for fans to poke fun. They compared the weird fencing style with Spider-Man’s web!
A netizen hinted how 2 billion pounds may not suffice when it comes to upgrading the capacity of the stadium, as Manchester United has way more fans.
2bn will become 3 or 4.. They don't have 100k fans.
Although Man United authorities have planned stylish roof fencing, users felt that they will have a hard time maintaining it.
I don't know why my first thought is how will they clean that net on the roof from all of the animals
It seems like the stadium will now easily accommodate a major percentage of the Man United fan base during their matches! A user added.
Looks incredible. 100k seats that will be filled.
No matter how hard the Man U authority tries to impress fans by upgrading the stadium, the recent performance of the squad didn't fail to escape the netizen's eyes.
They’ll look good losing 0-3 to Leicester there
A user opined about the design.
so they just put a giant fishing net on top and call it $2 billion lol
