A senior architect at the firm appointed to design Manchester United's new £2billion stadium has revealed further details about their ambitious project.
United last week unveiled their plans to build a 100,000-capacity new Old Trafford under a vast 'umbrella' – complete with a public plaza twice the size of Trafalgar Square and their own version of Wembley Way in a breathtaking ‘city of the future’.
The staggering plans have been drawn up by renowned British architect Lord Norman Foster, which include a cheeky nod to Manchester’s infamous climate.
Three giant towers, inspired by the Red Devils’ trident, dominate the skyline and effectively hold up the ‘umbrella’ - a sweeping glass and steel canopy above that will keep fans dry inside and outside what would be comfortably Britain’s biggest stadium.
