Lord Sebastian Coe is the leader of a taskforce that plans to demolish Old Trafford. Also, they proposed a new advanced stadium to replace it. Also, the plan was part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s vision of knocking down the 114-year-old stadium and building a bigger stadium next to it.
According to sportsbook software experts, Lord Coe oversaw the London 2012 Olympics. He will head the committee in charge of the project, which is part of a massive revitalization of Manchester’s Old Trafford district.
United have the financial wherewithal to reconstruct Old Trafford. Still, they will require investment partners to finance the construction of a new stadium and the broader revitalization of the club’s owned property.

On the other hand, the committee includes Gary Neville, a former United captain who, although acknowledging the club’s sentimental attachment to Old Trafford, thinks a new stadium would better serve the club and the city.
‘A new stadium of national significance suited to host international games and finals, as well as offering a modernized home for Manchester United,’ the club said on Friday, reiterating Ratcliffe’s earlier statements about his desire to demolish Old Trafford.
