Manchester United takeover bidder Thomas Zilliacus has made clear it would be his preference to modernise Old Trafford rather than build a new stadium.
The Finnish entrepreneur is one of three publicly known bidders to have submitted offers to acquire United. Zilliacus has experience in football, having previously been chairman in his homeland with capital club HJK Helsinki and also managed Singaporean side Geylang International.
Despite only joining Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani in the bidding late on, the 69-year-old has been vocal about various aspects of what ownership under his XXI Century Capital investment firm would look like. The boyhood United supporter has now addressed redeveloping or replacing Old Trafford.
