Manchester United unveiled plans for the new stadium with 100,000 seats on Tuesday morning and shows off the design with a glass and steel 'umbrella' Luifel to let fans dry inside and outside and three giant towers inspired by the Trident of the Red Devils.

Man United also ambitious that the stadium, which would become the largest covered space in the world, would be completed within a period of only five years.
While fans responded to the news on social media, the former communication director of Manchester United Charlie Brooks placed a timely message to share how the work is still underway for the Stade Hassan Stadium in Morocco, which has 'red chairs' and is 'covered by a gigantic tent structure'.
PR Man Brooks, who has previously worked for sports brand Nike and Manchester United, now represents densely populated the architecture company that has designed the new house of Tottenham and is now designing Morocco's state-of-the-art stadium in Casablanca.
Initially commissioned by the Glazer family owners of Manchester United in the spring of 2022, Populous was given the task of drawing up a master plan before Sir Norman Foster, one of the most famous British architects in modern times, took over the project.
Brooks posted on X on Tuesday, shortly after the Stadium of United revealed: 'Work continues at the Stade Hassan Stadium in Morocco, a stadium of 115,000 capacity with red seats covered by a giant tent structure announced in August …'
He shared a link to the Populous website 'with new images of the Casablanca Stadium, in which the final of the World Cup 2030 is held that is held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco and is expected to be the largest football location in the world.

'At both ends of the Colossal Stadium Bowl, three steep, compact layers provide a lively and spectacular atmosphere. Each “end” of the stadium contains 29,500 general admissions spectators.
'Five levels of hospitality along each of the captures on the side of the field welcome 12,000 VVIP, VIP, hospitality and box users, next to the Royal Box.
'The stadium is covered with a spectacular roof made of a unique aluminum grid. Support for the geometry of the roof and the bowl is a ring of 32 stairs, creating monumental gateways with lush gardens on raised platforms, each 28 meters from the ground. '
In response to Brooks's post, a group of fans Manchester United accused of copying the impressive 'umbrella' design from the 'Tent' structure of Morocco.
“They copy the Hassan II stadium of Morocco,” said a fan.
They act the Morocco World Cup Stadium The Grand Stade Hassan II, with a capacity of 115,000 seats, 'a second added.
Another posted: “What Morocco did yesterday, Manchester does today.”
A fourth chimde in and said, “Morocco united when they look their stadium when they look.”
Speaking of the new Stadium design of United, Lord Foster – founder and executive chairman of Foster + Partners – said: 'This must be one of the most exciting projects in the world, with incredible regional and national significance.
'It all starts with the experience of the fans, which means they get closer than ever to the field and a huge brell of acoustic cultivation.
'The stadium is contained by a huge umbrella, harvested energy and rainwater and protecting a new public square that is twice as large as the Trafalgar Square.
'The outward -looking stadium will be the beating heart of a new sustainable district, which is fully walkable, operated by public transport and endowed by nature.
It is a miniature city of the future for mixed use of creating a new wave of growth and creating a global destination that Mancunians can be proud of. '
While some fans praise the design and described it as a 'palace', others were less convinced and claimed it looked like a circus tent.
“FFS looks like a circus,” wrote one, with the required emoji of a big top.
“Looks terrible. Looks like a circus for the clowns that are going to play in it, “said another.
“Haha Circus Tent,” wrote one football fan, before the other seemed to send a Barb to the unpopular Glazer family co-owners: “Glazers are really building a circus tent for the clowns they are.”
