Manchester United’s grand plans for a £2billion super stadium have raised the eyebrows of industry experts who doubt key aspects of the eye-popping proposal unveiled this week.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe insisted he wants to build the world’s best football arena in what the club hope will be a five-year project.
The 100,000-capacity home will, Ratcliffe said, become an iconic tourist attraction akin to the Eiffel Tower as they push for completion for the 2030-31 season.
But industry insiders have questioned the logistics of United’s plans, the announcement of which came less than 24 hours after Ratcliffe claimed the club could have run out of money by the end of the current year had they not made rounds of redundancies and spending cuts.
