United not the only club ready to make a stand
Manchester Evening News
|October 18, 2025
THE quest to boast the largest stadium in the Premier League continues.
This season, six clubs have altered their capacities, with Manchester United among them.
Five clubs have official stadium capacities at the start of the 2025/26 season that differ from last year. While Everton may have relocated to a cutting-edge arena on the banks of the River Mersey, another club has added just six additional seats this year and one team has even reduced its fan capacity.
With United hoping to build a brand new stadium in the next few years, Old Trafford has undergone some minor alterations this season. It's reported that plans are underway for the Red Devils to vacate Old Trafford by 2030 for a new ground. United aim to construct a brand-new £2billion stadium capable of accommodating around 100,000 fans, reports the Mirror.
