A Manchester United fan group have released a scathing statement in response to the club's plans to build a brand new stadium.

Man United announced that they aim to build a brand new 100,000-seater stadium within the next five years, which is set to cost around £2billion.

Bringing a new stadium to the club - or renovating the ailing Old Trafford - has long been on the agenda for Sir Jim Ratcliffe since his partial takeover was completed at the Red Devils.

The announcement, though, has been met with mixed reviews; many fans took to social media to claim the new ground resembled a 'circus', while others were more optimistic for the future.
