Manchester United will start a £50m revamp of the men’s first-team building at their Carrington training complex next week, with Ratcliffe believing this will transform it into a “world-class” facility and improve performance. The project, led by the renowned architect Norman Foster, starts on Monday and is expected to continue throughout next season.
Ratcliffe said: “We want to create a world-class environment for our teams to win. When we conducted a thorough review of the Carrington training facilities and met with our men’s first-team players, it was clear the standards had fallen below some of our peers. This project will ensure Manchester United’s training ground is once more renovated to the highest standards. Lord Foster, a fellow Mancunian, has brought some great inspiration to the design, in conjunction with the Manchester United team and we look forward to seeing the improvement to the facilities but most importantly on the pitch”
