Manchester United will announce plans to build a brand new stadium with 100,000 seats on Tuesday, Talksport understands.
The minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe of United has been the driving force behind creating a 'Wembley of the North'.
The project is expected to cost £ 2 billion and Ratcliffe has secured the government's support to regenerate the area around the current house of Old Trafford in United.
United's plans to build a new stadium received a large boost in January when the proposal received the government's support.
Chancellor of the Treasury, Rachel Reeves, is one of the leading voices that defend the regeneration project.
It is estimated that the redevelopment of the Trafford Park Area can stimulate the British economy by £ 7.3 billion.
The New-Look Trafford Park Complex would have a large transport hub and dedicated building for sports, residential, entertainment, companies and an educational campus.
It is crucial that the Task Force Old Trafford Regeneration claimed that their plans to re -form the area would create more than 90,000 employment opportunities.
The Taskforce, founded by Ratcliffe, consists of former United Skipper Gary Neville, mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham and the Council of Trafford Council Sara Todd.
When learning, the government was behind the plans to regenerate the area, United CEO Omar Berrada said: “The delivery of a world -class stadium can be the catalyst for an important regeneration of an area of Greater Manchester who requires new investments to thrive again.
“We can not achieve that broader goal alone, so we welcome the announcement by the Chancellor and the constant support of the mayor of Greater Manchester and Trafford Council.
“When we work together, there is a one -off chance to create a milestone project around Old Trafford that the entire region can be proud of.”
Burnham believed that the chance of regenerating the area around Old Trafford 'is the greatest chance of urban regeneration that this country has seen since London 2012'.
“We look forward to working with the government to move freight away from the Old Trafford site to new locations to open the capacity for our rail network and to unlock a huge regeneration potential – to deliver benefits throughout the north,” said Burnham.
United played 114 years in Old Trafford after the stadium was opened in 1910.
If the new stadium is being built, it would be the largest presence in a British stadium, with the London Wembley Stadium currently in the lead with a capacity of 90,000 spectators.
Call for a new Stadium for United has grown in recent years when the age of Old Trafford began to show when it rained.
Images of water that was founded between the Sir Alex Ferguson stand and the East Stand after the 1-0 loss of United against Arsenal in May last May in May, viral started as a waterfall was created.
Water was also seen that flowed along the stairs of the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand.
Even United manager Ruben Amorim was not safe for leaks in Old Trafford, because his press conference was interrupted after a loss for Bournemouth in December by water leaking through the ceiling.
