🚨 BREAKING:
Manchester United's planned new 100,000-seat stadium, originally costed at £2bn, is now expected to exceed £3bn due to delays. The key hold-up is a land dispute: United offered £50M for a Freightliner-owned site, but the owner demands £400M, potentially requiring a compulsory purchase order.
Experts warn the project will keep rising in cost, take at least 10 more years (pushing completion beyond the mid-2030s), and may need an extra £1bn. Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent comments could also complicate approvals, though the club says it will be fully privately funded.
