Lad's got game! Manchester United's new stadium will feature a pool, VIP swimwear parties costing £500 per match.

Manchester United Club has confirmed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe's proposed new 100,000-capacity "New Trafford Stadium" will be privately funded, and positive discussions with potential investors and stakeholders are underway.

It is reported that Manchester United aims to open the new stadium by the 2032/2033 season, when Sir Jim will be 77 years old, and he views this new stadium as a legacy project. The Red Devils' owner boldly claims that the new stadium will be the largest and finest in the UK, with unique features that honor the club's glorious history.

One standout feature is that Manchester United's new stadium will include a VIP area equipped with a swimming pool, allowing guests to watch matches from the water. It is estimated that access to this VIP area will cost around £500 per game.

However, Manchester United's new dream theater hasn't even started construction yet, and specific plans are still undetermined, meaning the stadium project will likely be completed later than the originally targeted 2030. Tottenham played nearly three seasons at Wembley while building their stadium, and Everton spent four years constructing their current Hill Dickinson Stadium.

In January this year, Ms. Colette Roche was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer for Manchester United's new stadium development. She recently publicly discussed the plans for New Trafford Stadium and was asked about the club's latest completion timeline.

Regarding this, she said: "I recall that when we proposed the idea of building a new stadium a year ago, we indeed mentioned it would take four to five years to construct. People might have mistakenly thought the new stadium would be ready by 2030, but as everyone knows, such a complex project still requires a year or two to prepare for construction."

Explaining the reason for the lengthy preparation period, Roche stated: "We need to acquire land, raise funds, and obtain planning permissions. That's what we are currently working on, so there is no fixed start date yet, but the club is progressing according to plan."

To advance the new stadium plan, Manchester United must first reach an agreement regarding the railway goods yard around Old Trafford. The landowner is Freightliner, and there is still a significant gap in price negotiations, but the club hopes to reach an agreement within the coming months.
