The final meeting of 2024 with the Old Trafford regeneration task force has taken place, with more information likely to be confirmed in the summer of 2025.

Chaired by Lord Sebastian Coe, the meeting explored the regeneration of Manchester United’s stadium.

“This has been a multi-stakeholder process that has collected views from over 50,000 fans, plus residents, community members and businesses,” Coe said. “Today we discussed the outcome of this work in the form of an options report with Manchester United, Trafford Borough Council and Greater Manchester Combined Authority to help inform their decision-making process.

“At every stage we have challenged all involved to recognise the opportunity that sport presents as a powerful driver for transformational urban regeneration and that is reflected in the report. Manchester United will now work together with local authorities to review the findings and agree a path forward in the months ahead.”
