Manchester United are reportedly looking to build a small stadium close to Old Trafford that will host some youth-team fixtures.
That’s according to Stuart Mathieson of the Manchester Evening News, who wrote that the “mini Old Trafford” is being considered as part of a review of the club’s academy infrastructure. It’s suggested the venue would have a capacity between 5,000 and 10,000.
Mathieson outlined the problems United have had when it comes to hosting fixtures for their youth teams:
They currently play at Leigh Sports Village, where United have also hosted their Under 19s UEFA Youth League games.
