Manchester United are reportedly exploring the idea of revamping Old Trafford rather than building an entirely new stadium.

The Premier League giants are on the market, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim thought to be in the running to acquire the club.

However, if the Glazers refuse the sale and remain in charge of Man United, then they could undergo a massive stadium redevelopment.

The Manchester Evening News claim Man United bosses would rather upgrade their current home instead of building a brand-new stadium.

The report states the redevelopment could take up to TEN years while building a new ground would take six years.

A year would be spent on each stand during the upgrades, with a reduced capacity during the process.

The Stretford and Scorecard Ends could see a third tier added while the Sir Bobby Charlton stand could be demolished and completely rebuilt.

A 'Wembley-style' corporate middle-tier could also be introduced for hospitality season ticket holders.

The infrastructure outside the stadium will be also be revamped, with a focus on new car parks, a station and roadways leading to the ground.

Man United have discussed Old Trafford upgrades with Populous - an architectural and design company who worked on Wembley Stadium and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Glazers have not made any change to Old Trafford since taking over the club, with fans feeling a redevelopment of some sort is needed and long overdo.

Footage from earlier this month shows the ground is in desperate need of a revamp to keep the stadium among the best in England.
