Manchester United revealed plans for a new stadium earlier this month, and their hopes of turning their dream into a reality have been granted
Manchester United's hopes for building a new stadium were strengthened by 100,000 seats by Lisa Nandi, with the UK Foreign Minister for Culture, Information and Sports says that the government is “really keen to” make the club's vision a reality.
The President of the Newos, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other members of the United Command team in United, revealed plans to leave Old Trafford's current home for a new stadium on the latest model earlier this month. It is estimated that the new floor, which is designed by the architect Lord Foster, will cost about 2 billion pounds and take about five years for construction – but there are challenges that the club must overcome.
United faced questions about how to build the new stadium, given its financial position. However, the Greater Manchester mayor, Andy Bornham, said that no public funds will be used to build the new suggested stadium of the club.
Nandi has now talked about United's ambitious plans, hinting that the government is confident that the project will go ahead. “It is a touching feast at the present time, but we have been patience in the growth of the economy again and obtaining projects like this outside the ground. We are not lost a minute,” she told Sky Sports News.

“I was the Minister of Business in discussions, and we are really keen to contract. Manchester United must develop their own plans and satisfy their investors. What we have to do as a government is to increase the benefits of projects like these societies they serve.
“That is why we work with the Greater Manchester mayor and others. But we are really confident that we can do so.”

Ratcliffe has already referred to the government on the day that United plans were shared with the world. “If the government is really behind this plan, we will build a creative soccer field,” said INEOS president, who has not hidden his desire to build “Wembley of the North” since obtaining a minority stake in Manchester United.
“We were in close contact with the club, but also with the mayor of Manchester, the exciting thing in this project is not only what he will do for Manchester United, but what is likely to do for the entire region and the societies that live there.
“We are really excited about the project, talking to them about the best way to work together to deliver it.”
