What do you think about the new proposed stadium design?  Love it? Hate it? Does it embody United history, fan appeal and links to Manchester?

Have your say...

United have secured the majority of the land required to build the largest stadium in the UK; 'New Trafford' will have 100,000 seats and will take five years to construct; the new facility will be 350m away from Old Trafford, which has been the home of the club for 115 years

United have spent the last 115 years at Old Trafford, which currently holds nearly 74,000 spectators, and are expected to continue to play at Old Trafford while the new stadium is built.

United have revealed the location for their proposed new 100,000 seater stadium.

The ground will sit approximately 350 metres north-west of the existing Old Trafford stadium, although it has not yet been decided what the future of the current ground will be.

It is set to be a year-round hub for sports and entertainment along with the building of thousands of new homes. It will come alongside improved public transport links, as well as opportunities for walking and cycling.

The plan needs to be approved by Trafford Council, which is set to take place on July 20. If they do, there will then be an eight-week consultation period from July 28 to September 22, with events across the area for people to view the masterplan and share their views.
