Stunning images show what Man Utd's 100,000-seat stadium could look like with club planning new £2bn ground

New images have shown what Manchester United's planned new 100,000-seater stadium could look like.

Last February, it was reported that the club's minority co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, wanted to build a stadium dubbed the 'Wembley of the North'.

The following month, Ratcliffe assembled a stadium 'taskforce' - made up of United legend Gary Neville, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, and Trafford Council leader Sara Todd.

The Athletic claimed in August that the taskforce's 'initial conclusion' was that United should build a new 100,000-seater stadium, adjacent to the existing Old Trafford site.

Ratcliffe is said to prefer the club to build a new stadium from scratch rather than renovate Old Trafford, parts of which have fallen into disrepair over recent years.

And on Tuesday, it was revealed by the Daily Mail that United had won 'unanimous support' from Trafford Council officers over their plans.

It is said that the council will now search for a 'top class consultant team' that will help to 'shape a high-profile strategic masterplan for the regeneration of the area'.

Officials reportedly believe that the plans will add a huge total of £7.3 billion to the economy and provide more than 90,000 jobs, as well as 15,000 new homes.

The plans surrounding infrastructure and wider regeneration of the area - which also situates Old Trafford Cricket Ground, the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club - now needs to be supported by public bodies.

Ahead of the building work potentially getting underway, we've used Midjourney AI to take a look at what the club's 100,000-seater stadium could look like.

Firstly, Midjourney believes United will be in the Champions League at the time of the stadium being fully built, with each of the four stands having three tiers.

There is also a curved roof across the entire length and width of the stadium, with a notably significant gap between the edge of the pitch and the stands.

The second photo, meanwhile, is similar - minus the Champions League tifo on the centre circle - and with a better view of what the stadium might look like in brighter conditions.

The third photo goes for something different, with United's stadium featuring a closed roof and a gap between the edge of the stands and the walkway outside the stadium.

And the fourth photo is maybe better without a description - with the pitch significantly smaller to seemingly allow for more space outside the stadium. There is also a stand missing, too.
