Old Trafford could be 'knocked down' as Manchester United owners plan redevelopment

Old Trafford could be knocked down and rebuilt under 'plans being considered' by Manchester United.

That is according to a report by The Telegraph, who claim that United are close to appointing preferred partners for what could be the biggest redevelopment project in the club's rich and colourful history. The decision has been made after an exhaustive tender process was carried out in which those bidding were asked to put forward three different resign proposals.

Of the proposals submitted, the most ambitious is for Old Trafford to be completely rebuilt. If the club pressed ahead with the move, a new, larger stadium would be built on a reconfigured site. It is claimed that it would be large enough to rival Wembley's 90,000 capacity.
