Manchester United have officially announced plans to leave Old Trafford, their home for more than 100 years, and move into a new stadium.
The proposal was unveiled on Tuesday and has been backed by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
It follows recommendations made by the Old Trafford Regeneration Task force -- set up more than a year ago -- and a series of fan consultations.
The other option on the table was to redevelop the existing stadium, but the club have opted to move to a new home. A source has told ESPN that the club will not need to play a game away from Old Trafford while the work is completed.
