The Daily Telegraph moves forward the story about Manchester United’s plans to redevelop Old Trafford on the front page of its sports section with suggestions it could receive some public funding. According to the paper Sir Jim Ratcliffe has “already begun dialogue” with Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, Trafford Council leaders and other civic officials over the future of Old Trafford while “starting to explore financial options”.
The report adds that a new stadium has the potential to create jobs and “provide a huge boost to the local economy and beyond” while “sources suggested that such a major regeneration programme could attract government funds”.
