New Trafford? United’s £2B Stadium Plan Sparks Fan Backlash

Manchester United have unveiled bold plans for a £2 billion new stadium, dubbed “New Trafford,” which aims to seat up to 100,000 fans and open by the 2031–32 season. Designed by Foster + Partners, the new venue promises a futuristic fan experience — complete with a retractable roof, enhanced hospitality zones, and transport upgrades.

However, controversy has erupted over the proposed Personal Seat License (PSL) system, which could force fans to pay up to £4,000 just for the right to buy a season ticket — a move many have slammed as greedy and elitist.

According to polls, over 50% of United fans support a new stadium, but PSL pricing has become a flashpoint for frustration.

🟥 Fan debate centers on:

• Is a new stadium really needed?

• Can Old Trafford be renovated instead?

• Should loyal fans bear the financial burden?
