Manchester United unveil plans for 100,000-seater new stadium in regeneration project

Manchester United has announced plans for a new stadium with a capacity of 100,000 spectators, which will be the largest in the UK, surpassing Wembley Stadium.
The current Old Trafford stadium, over 115 years old, will be demolished instead of renovated due to ongoing issues, according to the organization's CEO.
The estimated cost of the new stadium is over $2.5 billion, and it will take five years to complete, according to the CEO.
The project is expected to create 92,000 new jobs and contribute over £7.3 billion annually to the British economy, according to Manchester United.
