I would love to see how a rebuild would look, but option A/B makes more sense, keep the history and spirit of the ground

As a united fan option A is the best option just increase the stadium capacity and upgrade and maintain whatever infrastructures that needed to and keep the name old Trafford that what make manchester united man united

Option A. Mirror the North Stand on the south side Option B: Replace the current roof with the new Bernebeu roof Option C: Build the Bernebeu with red seats.

I personally like the expanded version (option A) more. It keeps the distinctive truss roof intact while adding an upper tier to the main stand, making the stadium more symmetrical and increasing the seating to close to 100K. However, option C makes the most business sense i think: a brand new stadium plus the redevelopment of the neighborhood. We need a new stadium with supporting amenities/infrastructures to remain competitive off field and which would last at least a century, just like the old ground will when it finishes its job.

Option A is the best without any doubt. It requires less investment than the rest and is also the one that best respects the enormous legacy and history of this mythical stadium. Demolish it or change the facade would be a sacrilege

I'm an American from Green Bay and we have the oldest stadium in the NFL. Option A is what they did to Lambeau Field and of the three options here that looks to be the best. I dig how the stadium is built above the railroad tracks and expanded seating should put Old Trafford at 90,000 or more. Also, the organizations gets to hang on to the legacy and history of their stadium.

Essa revitalização no Old Traford dará outra imagem para o estádio e clube. O Manchester United precisa fazer essa obra para modernizar o estádio.

I could see options A and B getting combined. Revamps the look (which it for sure could do with) and adds capacity which is always nice. Also makes all sides equal which looks good in my opinion.

Seeing Old Trafford being taken away piece by piece at the end of the video was heartbreaking. Option B looks like the Alianz Arena, futuristic but no soul, at least it will still have the heart of Old Trafford within it. Option A seems like the most favourable option for me, expansion and upgrading the current infrastructure

I would like a mix of Option A and B. Would like to retain the old style/foundations but there is certainly room for improvements and a new roof!

Fantastic rendering work there. Top notch stuff 👏🙂 Oh.....rebuild. It would be so much easier and less disruptive.

As a United fan from VIetnam that has never been to Old Trafford, i also like option A but with some suggestions i would like to add: 1/ Transform Stretford End to the largest single-tier stand. (Imagine massive tifo our die hard fans can assemble) 2/ Relocate disabled section (it's so inhuman to put them behind the goal) 3/ Bring back player tunnel to the center of stadium with modernized interior but the external brick look of the dugout must be preserved at all costs 4/ Need entire new roof design with modern, clean look, less sloped, no more hideous structured-exposed and retractibility. 5/ To maintain the "English ground" spirit, the new external must avoid the generic bowl-shaped design that makes the "New Trafford" look like an NFL stadium. 6/ A new state of the art museum 7/ Although the 360 giant screen (like SoFi stadium) is impressive, i personally think it only fits to NFL atmotsphere. I prefer the corner screen. 8/ Add creative attractions (Tottenham skywalk is a good example) 9/ The Bridgewater canal in front of Sir Alex Ferguson stand must be cleaned.

Option C's demolition of Old Trafford never occurred to me. Also, it seems to come out in a dream. Option A is still more acceptable to me.

Never had the honor to go to Old Trafford. Have tried several times and life plus pandemic got in the way. Personally I feel option A with additional upgrades/updates to infrastructure, amenities and concourses. The look of Old Trafford is iconic. Most football fans know it on sight. Plus the history it holds.

Nice bro, so cool, that animation and idea, was so real

Or maybe make a mall just for Manchester United fans beside the Old Trafford after expanding or upgrading it🔥

Option A. Maintain the heritage!

COMBINATION OF BOTH A AND B WOULD BE PERFECT. EXTEND THE SOUTHSTAND AND MODERNISE IT COMPLETELY

I love these renders! Great vid

Option a, keep the spirit❤

Option 1:well done and balanced Option 2:santiago beradau mix camp nou Option 3:new trafford

Go for option C - but do it right - 85,000 and redevelop the land OT is on. Sometimes it is better to start afresh. Its the fans that make a club. Who talks about the twin towers at Wembley anymore? No one. Also do a deal with the FA to permanently alternate England games between Wembley and the new OT.

Surely these days it can't be difficult to build over the railway line. However there is still the issue of limited leg room of the seats.

Really cool video. Would have been good to know each options capacity. I would be a mixture of a and b. I definitely don't want a new stadium and I would raise the capacity and upgrade with a traditional look rather than all that modern stuff. We can't leave old Trafford. Edwards Charlton law best. So much history.

For me, Option A

You’re such a tease!!! Thought there would have been some prolonged shots! - anyway as a non MUFC fan who’s never been to OT - I’ll say expand it - maintain the same aesthetic and build over the railway line. Although love the renders of a new stadium and what an updated version similar to Bernabeu could look like Ok - seen the full version - your best work yet - I’m not talented enough to visualise the expansion but you’ve done it. This video is on repeat. Incidentally, I imagined the south stand having more sky boxes for prawn sandwichers and relieving the seating in the north stand to improve the leg room - still would be larger capacity than the 75k capacity and the external appearance would look similar. Beautiful stuff - been waiting years for this !

I prefer Option B because the stadium can be nicknamed "The Bed Pan" That way when Manchester loses a game, the puns will be absolutely incredible.. "Manchester's chances of winning a championship were flushed down the toilet today..." "The visiting team relieved themselves at the expense of Manchester in The Bed Pan" Whenever Manchester scores a goal, the sound of a flushing toilet can be heard throughout the entire stadium and surrounding area. Option B MUST become THAT reality.

All look grate but i do think they will got for option A or C but they do need a new roof all around

I would vote for an option A. But only if it includes not just expanding, but also improving all sides. All of our stands need some care. Expanding won't get rid of the leaks. I'd like to keep old Trafford looking like old Trafford, but let's restore it, get rid of the leaks, and renovate the inside to include a wide selection of fan experiences like Tottenham has, they have several bars etc in their stadium. Let's dl something similar. Even better would be including a bar/restaurant that's not just open on game days. Imagine a United fan visits Manchester for work, or another reason, oh no, no match at OT this week, no problem, you can still have an OT experience and visit the United pub and restaurant, and even watch the game. I think there's so many ways to improve OT, and all these look great, but I think the best is expand and restore.

great idea, this really helps the new owners of MU if the stadium wants to be renovated. let's just pray for this to materialize so that the stadium becomes modern again.

Old Trafford is not just a stadium for me( and the other fans of Manchester United I believe), it's everything for me. Old Trafford is the place which made my sweet memories. Many trophies had won there by Manchester United. It's like a Palace like Antiquity for me as a Manchester United fan. If the decision was up to me, I'd prevent it from rebuild, but it should be upgraded for more modernizing and also increasing the capacity.

They desperately need Option C, the stadium is beyond repair at this point. It's the main reason behind the club's sale as the current owners would be required to invest in the club for the first time in their 18 year tenure.

While the concepts look good and would be put in any design pitch, anything other than option 1 would be destroying any sort of character Old Trafford has. I'm not a Utd fan, but I feel that expanding on the history of the ground would be a far better choice over soulless corporate design. Same goes for most other teams. Embrace the heritage.

I like A if you want to keep the grounds but with remodeling inside. But I would try making a better looking roof instead of all those sticking out metal. Sort of like a mix of option A and B. But if they did all B, I'd rather go for C and just get a new Stadium done , they look about the same. Remodeling costs more.

I would say option A makes the most sense. At least then the train station would also go straight inside. I’m not a fan of the future styles stadiums, I had a strange thought though that it would be quite nice to see a football stadium with grass on its roof or solar panals etc ( I’m not a environmentalist but just thought it would be nice to see)

Amazing video and designs/options. Would be great to have some capacity details with each option.

I love this 3d visualisation of what an upgrade or new stadium would look like for Man Utd, if I had to choose - I would actually back an upgrade 100% because it continues history & legacy at Old Trafford but it also embraces a whole new era for the club. A rebuild with training ground - I like and it resembles to what Tottenham Hotspur has done but upgrade is more my option

Option A deserves a lot of consideration, but remembering wading through the piss pond in the jacks in the 70’s and 80’s under the Stretford End. Option C makes the most sense, then bring the old stadium back to it’s 1994 configuration but with the concourses and jacks refurbished and updated for the Ladies and Reserves.

I’m not a Man U fan but has to be option A, Old Trafford is such an iconic looking stadium. The other 2 while looking modern lack character and individuality.

As a United fan born in 2001 I’ve not had the chance to see old Trafford same as my siblings but my dad and grandad have been a lot when I wasn’t born. Me personally B and C catch my eye the most whereas my dad is A and B. I’d want us to modernise the hell out of old Trafford but I know the generation before 2000s all have a different connection with that stadium which I also understand.

Option A seems the best and best looking option. And I'm an evertonian....losing the character of the ground would be tragic

It definitely needs to be expanded up to 86.000 to be recognized as one of the top clubs. And some money invested in the area around it. I would go for the 3rd option. A lot Stadiums throughout England need upgrading for the future of our beautiful game. I can see Newcastle being over 80.000 if there stadium gets approved.

Opción A es la mejor, porque mantiene al Manchester con su esencia, solo tendrían que hacerle el respectivo mantenimiento para que la cubierta quede pareja en color y no se note mucho la ampliación. Las otras opciones son mezcla del Alianze Arena, Bernabeu y un mix de bernabeu-Camp nou por la forma en que quedaría.

As long is around 100,000 capacity! With an opinion to extend by 10,000 in the future would be great

Option A + a super upgrade. Increase the stadium capacity to something around 90k, build a new roof (higher than the option B), a walkable platform over the stands and a giant panoramic window to the city. Old Trafford has a wonderful view of the City and that opportunity should be exploited in a expansion. I can imagine MUTV doing interviews with new players with the skyline of Manchester in the background. Manchester United own the land arround the stadium, enough land to build a smaller stadium for the woman's team and academy and 8-10 football pitches. I say we build our training ground there. All of this will probably be cheaper than building a new stadium, it would look amazing and we keep and transform our beautiful Old Trafford in something that respect our tradition, history and it's original. No abstract totally futuristic facade.

Option C but it wouldn't be where it is in the video, there isn't anywhere near enough room. Especially factoring in the additional room required for construction works. I fancy the triangle between Wharfside way / Europa way & the canal, it's currently just generic warehousing which can easily be relocated.

What about a combination of option A and B? Expanding it so it would look symmetrically,while upgrade it with better roof. Even better if you can make an openable roof like Real Madrid’s new Santiago Bernabeu.

Somewhere between A and B would be right I think.. extend over the railway but add a new modern roof and refurbish and modernise the whole place. 1.5 billion should do it. Do what they did in Madrid but with a more traditional external aesthetic. Also, sell the areas around the ground to developers for retail units, cafe's, cinema, music venue, museum, public gardens etc to create jobs for people, help the economy and put money back in to the refurb.

I hate option 3, I don't like option 2 and I love the 1st one!

What a great video. Great work!

Great video. Can you do similar videos for Anfield stadium please

Option A looks the best in terms of keeping the same style adn i like the symmetry, all old trafford needs after that is a fix up

I think a mixture of 1 and 2 a hybrid if you like , option 1 with option 2 roof and cladding

Option A classic design and keeping the character and theme. Crown for the Kings of English football. The other two following the pack in design. Madrid are cladding their stadium similar I believe. Plus option B&C look like a bed pan.

If it was option C I would want it to look different, not like just any other modern stadium. Also make the seats go up more rather than further out, creating a scarier atmosphere for opposition

Ten years ago, option A, but in 2023, option C all day long.

Option C. With elements saved and built into both the interior and exterior of the new development. While it's vital to not lose the connection to our history, it is important to take steps forward into our future.

I think a is the option, old trafford looks awsome from above, keep the spirit n history, think all these new grounds affect the acoustics also, keep what we got n just expand capacity

As a Man United fan with passion in architecture, this video is sooo intriguing. Thanks

สนาม A สวยที่สุดแล้วครับ ไม่ถูกลดทอนเอกลักษณ์ของโรงละครแห่งความฝันด้วยครับ สนาม C ยิ่งแล้วใหญ่เลย แบบนั้นความขลังที่สนามมีมานานกว่าร้อยปีจะหายไปหมดเลยครับ ส่วนสนาม B จะเป็นสนามทั่ว ๆ ไปมีโดดเด่นหรือสวยงามอะไรเลยครับ คำตอบสุดท้ายสนาม A คือที่สุดแล้วครับถ้าจะต่อเติมสนามเพิ่ม

Option A or nothing

Always C. With A or B you will always have an old stadiun setup, no matter what you do.

Option A all day long! Great work

I think some kind of fusion between de op A and op B. To expand the capacity and a new outer skin (fecade and roof) would be perfect. But the last being mostly red.

A) Expansion Is great, most Utd fans would accept this B) Is ok but not really Utd, looks like Real Madrids upgrade C) Most Utd fans wouldn't want a rebuild, would destroy history for a clinical new building

Option C looks better than the upgrade-better have the new stadium built before you do anything with the existing one because the club needs somewhere to play the home games during the time while you’re building one beside it

Option B. Then where you wanted to do the rebuild bulld the headquarters there add the training ground etc, build a smaller stadium that can accommodate the women, U/23s etc.... get a couple of office blocks and accompdation around there to increase employment opportunities etc

As a non man utd fan, I find option C to be the most appealing. For a mega club with successful history and a massive fan base, the current stadium is underwhelming despite its size. I know a lot of man utd fans consider old trafford to be iconic, but some old bricks can't represent a club. I do agree on the comment saying alianz stadium is souless, but tottenham's new stadium is marvelous, iconic in itself, and represents the club very well. I would even argue that it is more characteristic than The Lane. So, man utd, please build a massive and modern stadium comparable to bernabeu or camp nou.

Would absolutely love to see a Highbury version of this video. I've always been fascinated by what potential expansion it could've had or just a concept at least.

What people don't understand is the stadium on the inside looks so outdated it's embarrassing. The seats and pitch looks pretty. But once you go inside it looks like you went back in time. Option 3 should be the only way but some people are afraid of change. Build the new stadium while we still play in the current stadium.

As a City fan myself, your club has a great history and id hate to see this stadium be demolished, A is the best option, but they should improve the roof alongside option A

Option A for sure. However, it should be an expansion and upgrade. Replicate the North Stand and quadrants, however with a new lifted roof over the whole stadium. A bit like Wembley.

I like option C with the idea of keeping the current OT pitch and renovating into reserve team stadium

Why not A+B?

Option A seems like best idea maybe tweek the design slightly to modernise it a little and totally gutting the interior

I not a Manchester United fan but been over 30 times with Coventry City and I would love to see a rebuild as I know parts of the stadium are in bad condition. Just look at the new Spurs stadium it fantastic, Old Trafford needs a bigger crowd at least 90k

Option C. The original foundations of the main stand pre-date WW2 and the proximity of the railway line makes it very difficult. Also, where will United play if they just update Old Trafford? So, a New Old Trafford with a smaller adjacent stadium for the other teams including the women's team so they actually play in the city rather than over at Leigh.

Could you add how many seats will be added for each design?

a mix of A and B seems like the best and most likely option. i just dont think theres the space for a total rebuild without demolishing Old Trafford first, (which raises the question of where would we play for potentially 2 years) and that would seem a waste since most of the foundations and bricks can probably be reused expand over the railway tracks, build a new roof, install new seating and concourses to make it modern on the inside. rebuild some of the aging exterior. Yet most important of all keep the same pitch, same foundation

I enjoyed that... my option would be A, but I wished it had the crowd size for each option.....

As a lifelong Utd fan of 36 yrs (since 5yrs old) I think it's time to rebuild. We need to set the standard that is Manchester United and a top of the range brand new stadium with 100,000 capacity sets the tone. Or as someone else said, at the very least a combination of a & b.

This is amazing! Thank you for doing this!

Option B is literally a copy of Santiago Bernabéu

I really want to see how Old Trafford would be look like with modern design. But I think option A is the most realistic and favorable, but with upgrading the facilities and indrastructures inside the stadium, and of course they also have to install two giant LED scoring boards in the stadium, just like most of stadiums have in this modern era

Great video, Been going to OT since the early 80’s and visited a number of other stadiums around the world and all 3 options have issues. 1) Cheapest option and less disruption to match days however doesn’t fix the issues elsewhere in the ground. 2) would be quicker and easier to build a new ground and if it’s just a roof and cover doesn’t fix any issues or increase capacity. 3) best option however don’t think there’s the room to build it (it’s very close to the sidings) and keep OT running, more likely to have to build it elsewhere or half build it and then kick down OT (like what Spurs did)

Option A for me. It will take the capacity close to 100k. I'd love to keep the old look, after that then the stadium can be modernised inside for a better fan experience.

Excellent job 👏

Option A but with an updated roof. Old Trafford must live on, it deserves it!

As a Liverpool fan, I would hate the see an iconic stadium like Old Trafford be demolished and all its history with it. I hope they expand like FSG has done with Anfield and keep that history and glory…..

Being going to old Trafford since 1984 got a lot of great memories but I would like us to build a new stadium next door to old Trafford, we need to move with the times.

The key thing here isn't whether the ground is rebuilt or improved it's about retaining what has made Old Trafford the best stadium in the world for decades. Apart from the 3rd tier of the North Stand, you get a great view from anywhere inside OT and you feel close to the action. I've never been to a stadium that holds over 80k that's any good whatsoever. For example the new Wembley is terrible just like the Nou Camp it' lacks the ability to create a tremendous atmosphere. You don't want people having no space to sit in like Anfield. OT is already tight enough. What IS needed is a big section of safe standing for a minimum of 12,000 slap bang in the middle of The Stretford End. Another area of safe standing is required for around 8,000 slap bang in the middle of The Scoreboard. Surely having safe standing can use less space and therefore allow more people to be close to the action elsewhere in the stadium? They need to employ the finest architects around and think outside the box to ensure that 100,000 can watch the match with no barriers to viewing, not be too far from the action. This will not be easy. It might not be possible. If it isn't I'd much rather have an amazing stadium that only holds 75,000 than a poor fan experience that holds 120,000. Now let's get rid of the Glazers. #GlazersOut

I hope they go for option C. I also really like option B but the only problem with option B is that the already existing Old Trafford needs alot of repairs. So what I would do is renovate the whole stadium and then go for option B.

Definitely option A. I’m not a fan of the futuristic looking stadiums, as cool as they may look, but with that said, the stadium has been left to fall apart for that long now, is it worth trying to repair and rebuild? It’s going to probably need a whole stand knocking down and rebuilt just to ensure it’s safe and can last another 100 odd years

I get the feeling of keeping history and heritage but that should belong to the museum!! Most important thing is achieving the best outcome overall from a commercial and footballing sense

Option A - Mirror the North Stand on the South side with No 3rd tier. The Owners were the ones who stop the Original project by using the excuse of the rail track complications. As stated previously, the design has already been laid out for completion of the stadium by original designers, to finish before the train track but the owners compromised by installed the 3rd tier cos the fans were complaining about the capacity at that time. Alls well we like to think that once the owners depart or bring in SJR and his team we can address the layout for the necessary expansion of the South stand, East & West quadrant issue ASAP because Wembley is to far to deal with the fan base, we're sure that can be achieved with minimal fuss, going by our walk around the stadium experience by observation. Take Note: The expansion should not exceed the rail track. We feel in 18 month to 2 years copying Real Madrid project with the right people it can be achieved in line with progress on the pitch! Worth a view, please share!

For all those saying Option A (expand) this will be very difficult and much more expensive for the owners as the railway line is public and cannot be bought or easily built around, so for me Option C makes most sense, as the Glazers have been buying up the land around Old Trafford for years, and even a massive construction project like that would logistically be less of a challenge than Option A. Option B is pointless, since if the club is staying on the same site they may swell keep the same design with perhaps a new roof or two, to preserve the history of the club.

Very nice video. Option A for sure. Old Trafford has such a great look and Option A will retain this iconic look. The other options whilst cool will just mean that the stadium will just blend in like all other new type stadiums.. Option A is stunning.

Am on it as well option A& B is good but wouldn’t mind seeing a nicer rebuild why not Tottenham, Arsenal have why not United.

great work 👌

Personally as a Newcastle fan I despise Manchester United. But I respect their history and heritage. And part of that heritage is it's existing stadium. Someone else commented go for option 3 as the existing stadium resembles 1980's and 90's outdated design. But again that's part of the heritage and like it or not old Trafford has an iconic presence known to football fans as someone else commented. Do United fans really want to lose that. In my opinion option A to retain its current look. Do United fans really want to be unable to differentiate the Bernabau from New Trafford. I think modern stadium designs are ugly spaceship like structures that look like something from a future Dystopian world science fiction books. Let football stadiums look like football stadiums.
