Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has recently completed his partial takeover of Man United, now faces the task of deciding the future of Old Trafford. The new management will need to consider whether to expand the current iconic stadium or construct a brand new one with a seating capacity of 90,000. This decision will be the subject of extensive debate and discussion until a consensus can be reached and the project can move forward. INEOS, the company behind the takeover, is committed to taking their responsibilities seriously and will therefore consider all available options. According to The Times, Sir Jim has approached former player Gary Neville, who has been a vocal critic of the club, to provide his advice and input. Neville’s existing ownership of Hotel Football, located adjacent to Old Trafford, and University Academy 92 close by, demonstrates his familiarity with the area. However, his involvement will be dependent on it not conflicting with his current role as a co-commentator and analyst at Sky Sports. This demonstrates INEOS’ openness to new ideas and perspectives, which bodes well for the future of the club.
