Man Utd’s new stadium would be £300million cheaper without two features including ‘iconic’ part of design

Manchester United can save £ 300 million if they lost two iconic functions of their new Old Trafford plans.

Co-owner co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's vision of a £ 2 billion 100,000-Saturday “Wembley of the North” could be subject to some changes between now and 2030.

As with all major construction projects, costs, plans and deadlines are subject to unpredictable changes.

And United may have to leave two spectacular functions to prevent the budget.

Architects at Foster and Partners, who have drawn up the project, said that the stadium would have an umbrella design and a new public square that is “twice as large for Trafalgar Square”.

Three gigantic towers, inspired by the Trident of the Red Devils, will dominate the skyline and keep the “umbrella” up – a sweeping glass and steel canopy above it will keep fans inside and outside what the largest stadium of Great Britain would be.

It is an impressive concept but not necessarily cost-effective.

The drop of the 200 meter towers and the roof could lower the construction costs by a maximum of £ 300 million, according to Stadiondb.com.

And the documents of the Task Force of Old Trafford regeneration show that building such a large environmentally friendly roof can be a headache.

That is because United should buy extra land from Freightliner, who have a railway terminal west of the current site.

Although the company intends to move in the vicinity of St. Helens, it will probably look for a larger part of the profit of the Trafford Wharfide project.

Ratcliffe hopes that a new house helps to become united to the top of English football.

While the local area will also experience a regeneration project, creating hundreds of new jobs in the process.

The wrestling Premier League club will finance the land itself, while the British government will help support the wider park area around the stadium.

But United, currently £ 1 billion in debts, still has to say how they intend to pay for the stadium.

The money will be borrowed from the banks, but the club currently pays around £ 36 million a year to serve its debt.

Further loans, especially in unfavorable terms, can put a serious burden on the balance.

With an interest rate of 7.38 percent – such as Everton that is recently guaranteed – interest can only be an additional £ 2 billion £ 200 million a year.

They could also sell the name rights to the new stadium, which could yield £ 30-40 million a year.

The new stadium will be built near where their current house of Old Trafford is located.

The famous arena will eventually be brought down as part of the building plans.

But the Red Devils will continue to play in Old Trafford while their new stadium is being built.
